When you first setup a Windows computer you do have the option of using a local account versus an email that is registered with Microsoft, but the link to use a local account is quite a bit less obvious.
You can also switch to a local account, this should give you the option of naming the new account as well.

If you're not to far in to setting things up etc you may find it easiest to do a factory reset ensuring you take care when entering login details that you select local login.
I did factory reset. And it seems what I remember was right. There is no option of not connecting with microsoft account. Maybe you used an older version of Windows? Maybe Microsoft very recently changed something to force users to use their product?
This is what I see.
If I click "Learn More", then I see this.
It says "If you'd prefer not to have a Microsoft account associated with your device, you can remove it. Finish going through Windows setup, then select the Start Button and go to Settings > Accounts> Your info and select Sign in with a local account instead."
But as I wrote above days ago, that is exactly what I did before I did the factory reset.
I did exactly that, but still, I could not change the folder name.
from
C:/Users/skype
to
C:/Users/Owner
and make this take the role it supposed to have, as if this computer has NEVER been connected to microsoft account.
Changing this folder name is critical because I want to sync dropbox, using the same folder structure as my main computer. (Please see our discussions above for reminder) But it seemed impossible, so that was the whole point of factory reset, as
@patcooke suggested me. (Please see our discussions above for reminder)
How can I fix this issue? Tell me if I have to just give up and return this laptop.
