Caution about the letter using for Windows user name. | When using user name included "@" mark before or after the name such as "@username"or "username@"before upgrading to Windows 7, you may not be able to log on using the name after upgrading to Windows 7.
If using "@" mark between the name such as "user@name", there is no problem to log on after the upgrade. | If you happened to use "@" mark before or after the name, create a new user account without "@" mark as administrator. If you fail to do so, you won't be able to log on to the user after upgrade.
However, if you just change the existing user account to different user name, it won't work to fix the problem. If you happened to upgrade to Windows 7 without creating a new user, start up in Safe Mode and create a new user account without "@" mark as administrator from Computer Management. | |
