-* **Keep Provisioned Packages**: leaving this option unticked (default) will try to remove every operating system package.
-
-    Some packages may remain after processing. This can happen if the packages in question are permanent or have been superseded by newer versions.
-
-* **Keep Appx Packages**: leaving this option unticked (default) will try to remove every Microsoft Store app from the Windows image.
-
-    This option will exclude some applications that are essential in the event that you want or need to add a Store app later on.
-
-* **Keep Defender**: leaving this option unticked will try to remove every part of Windows Defender, including the Windows Security app.
-
-    Leaving this option unticked is **NOT recommended** unless you plan to use a third-party antivirus solution on your MicroWin installation. In that regard, don't install AVs with bad reputations or rogueware.
-
-* **Keep Edge**: leaving this option unticked will try to remove every part of the Microsoft Edge browser using the best methods available.
-
-    Leaving this option unticked is not recommended because it might break some applications that might depend on the `Edge WebView2` runtime. However, if that happens, you can easily [reinstall it](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2)

+##### Custom user settings
+
+With MicroWin, you can also configure your user before proceeding if you don't want to use the default `User` account. To do this, simply type the account name (20 characters maximum), and a password. Then, let MicroWin do the rest.
+
+!!! info
+
+     Please make sure that you remember your password. MicroWin will configure auto-login settings, so you won't have to enter your password. However, if you are required to enter your password, it's best that you don't forget it.
