The initial accounts and what to do with them are described in the
post-installation section of the MySQL Reference Manual:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Post-installation.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Windows_post-installation.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Default_privileges.html

Yes, you can move it. You should specify the new values for basedir
and datadir in the [mysqld] section of an option file. The allowable
option files on Windows are described in the Reference Manual as well.
