Creating an Ubuntu Linux User Account/Computer Name
The next screen that appears will give you the option to migrate files and settings from your Windows installation to your new Ubuntu Installation. For each user account on your Windows system you will be able to specify whether or not to migrate the files and settings, and create a matching user account and password on the Ubuntu system.
== Creating an Ubuntu Linux User Account/Computer Name ==
Once you have performed the Windows file migration you will be asked to create a user account on the Ubuntu Linux system for yourself. If you already have an account on the Windows system and created an Ubuntu account during the file migration you can simply select the account from the ''What name do you want to use to log in?'' drop-down menu. The installer will then populate the password and full name fields with the data you entered during the migration phase.
 
At this point it is also necessary to provide a name for the system. This is primarily for networking purposes and is the name that will be used to access the Ubuntu Linux system from other computers on a network. When you have entered the required information press the ''Forward'' button to begin the installation.
