"Who am I;" is a philosophical question for late night discussions. Whoami, on the other hand is an extremely useful command of the Windows.
When you run the whoami command in a line box orders on Windows without additional commands, you'll see the bare minimum details: the current domain and username, in the form domain\username (if you're signed in with a local account or a Microsoft account, domain will show your computer name ).
Run the Whoami command with /? and you will see the help that displays the options for displaying and formatting additional information for the currently logged in user account.
For better results, use the whoami /all command, and it will display the security identifier (SID) for the current user, along with information about group membership and privileges.
The /fo list switch changes the default screen from a table (which can be hard to read) to an ordered list.
Use the / fo csv switch to change the appearance of the results to comma-separated values, which you can enter into a spreadsheet.
