I am using my MS id to log in but frankly I could do without the login screen plastering my real name in big white letters and a picture of me along with my personal email address right there for anyone to see!

Is there a way to stop it showing this other than simply not using a MS id and choosing to log in locally only?

I don't want it showing my full name. And I certainly don't want it showing my bluddy email address to everyone! Why the hell it can't just show an account name of my choosing (but still using my MS account), and not display my email address. It's hardly rocket science.

WTF kinda security is it when someone steals your laptop, gets a big picture of your ugly mug, your full name AND your email address without even TRYING to log in to the thing. christ!

ok thanks. Doesn't really help as that means I then need to type in my whole name AND email AND password. I have it set to a pin number so I can get in quickly. Looks like local account is the only way to go.
