Hello, at the store, the sales did not give me a chance to enter some information (I recall something like machine name, user name, etc). He just pressed skip or next several times to make the machine operable. Should I somehow reset the machine to pre-box opened state or enter the information under settings? I don't know if the system automatically created a default user folder, etc. Thanks.

If you want, do factory reset from settings

For your information, under General->Users, I have: You (Owner)

Am I supposed to change this to my name or create another user account?

If I don't do a factory reset, what else should I change?
If you don't do reset, change it if you want.

When you first time boot your tablet (or after factory reset) it asks you those Samsung / Google accounts and what ever it asks..
Now you have to manually set those accounts since they're skipped for first time. I think you can also use your device without setting those, but it might be somehow limited (Google play and Samsung store etc. If those accounts are not added to device).

OK. I did a factory reset. After that, I went to PlayStore. under All, I see all the apps that I had installed or currently installed on my Note 2. Do I have to manually select and install the apps that I also want to be on the PRO? Due to the write sdcard issue with KK, shall I buy a sdcard first before installing the apps? thanks

Yes if you did not select during setup to backup and restore your device on the cloud then you will have to manually install everything one by one. Another way to do it if you want to duplicate what you have on another android device is to use an application like App List Backup to backup a list of installed applications. You then copy the backup list file that the application stores on your device to your new device and use the application to assist you in installing what you want as a batch operation.

You can add the SD card later and if the applications need the SD card later they'll use it. Unless of course your'e the type to want to push applications to run on SD card . .
