   Fyi...on some devices when using an MSA when OneDrive is   
   installed(running or even 'Quit') a third choice(Personal) can be present.   
     => Personal is the locally configured folders for OneDrive   
   The Personal option includes the MSA(online MSA profile user's first name)   
     e.g. If the MSA username first name is Elvis, then the additional   
   choice will appear as 'Elvis - Personal'   
      
   The MSA username can only be configured at   
     https://account.microsoft.com/profile/   
   Once logged on and loaded, click on 'Your info' in the left hand   
   navigation pane for the option to 'Edit' the full username.   
      
   The configured username(full - first and last) when changed will sync   
   back down to update its respective Windows logon MSA username.   
     - iirc a both first and last names are required, though one can, if   
   desired, use a blank/null(doesn't show) character using Windows   
   'Character Map' by copying the character and pasting in the last name   
   field;  not all blank/null looking Character Map characters can be used.
