I have Win 10 21H2 Bld 19044.1706 stand-alone workstation, no domain, just WORKGROUP.

I did a Laplink PCMover transfer to new computer but it changed profile name from "john.WORKGROUP" to "john". Everything is working except a million links like "C:\Users\john.WORKGROUP\Documents\something.exe" so I want to make a link named "C:\Users\john.WORKGROUP" that points to "C:\Users\john" but everything I've tried results in "Access Denied."

User "john" is an administrator.

I changed ownership of everything in Users to "jerry" (was "TrustedInstaller") and ran "Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux" in powershell, rebooted, but still Access Denied.

How can I make this link?

(I know this is serverfault, but StackOverflow does not seem like the right place and windows forums are useless.)

Open your command prompt using "Run as Administrator".
