I'm unsure why your seeing two local accounts. Have you checked under User accounts in the Control panel? Have you thought of trying Windows 8 with a Microsoft account? Either a Hotmail or Outlook account will do and then windows 8 will show a whole different side. Plus it's extremely secure with any changes to the account needing a pin number sent to your cell phone for verification.
