I like to have simple none-spacey folder names like C:\Users\Alex of my windows login account and use login with a microsoft account. I get this by creating Local user account, login, then change to microsoft account type as specified here
How to rename the User folder in Windows 10?
Now I would like to do the same with family member, who is registered as Family Member (for Minecraft game connection) in microsoft.com. When I try to change to Microsoft account login on a second local user account it says
another user on this device uses this microsoft account
If I in User settings > Family add user account, then I get windows determined folder name. The folder name is not that bad nowadays, its non-spaced and first five letters it seems, but I would like to specify it my self.
How do I get around this? (I have one convoluted solution which I found and will post but I would prefer better solution)

Easy solution: Create local user account called Alex, log into Alex, connect Alex to MS account. – Ramhound – 2017-12-23T12:40:13.273
Hi Ramhound, that's when it gives the error i mentioned, hence the question. – arberg – 2017-12-29T15:47:00.507
You never mentioned an error..... – Ramhound – 2017-12-29T17:11:14.473
It gives the error 'another user on this device uses this microsoft account', but true i didn't label it as an 'error' in the question, just as an output, but no problem, no harm done :) Probably its a new issue in build 1709 or other recent build – arberg – 2018-01-02T15:40:40.500
You never specified you were using the same MS account nor the fact you want to create a new family account.... – Ramhound – 2018-01-02T16:16:34.710
