hello. is it possible to get a windows 10 pc to go through initial setup again? my hands twitch quite a bit, so I ended up going through setup or messing up after creating a new account, so I had to create multiple accounts just to get through setup. this also happened on the page "to send extra info" to my computer manufacturer. I don't know how to get back to that screen or even to start over. thanks.
 
That screen is called the Out Of Box Experience (oobe).

Skipping the technical explanation, the easiest way for you to fix your situation is to reset your PC, as in the guide Wombo linked.

Next time either take your time going through the screens, or use voice prompts to get through.

I have a neurological disorder that causes my hands to twitch a lot, which resulted in me having to start over a couple times (very difficult to type) I probably should have left the voice on. anyway, is there any way to see what I had typed? is it important? does it have anything to do with your warranty? thanks!
 
I understood your condition, and that’s exactly why the voice mode was created. It’s slower, however it does make things easier because the voice recognition has come a long way.

To answer your questions:
There is no way to see what you typed unless you enabled certain image capture settings prior to installing (this only applies to businesses).
It is in no way important. Only the Microsoft account and WiFi settings makes any noticeable difference, and both can be changed at any point once set up. The rest is all about telemetry (what data they collect for any services or advertisements they provide).
No, it has no impact on your warranty. Your warranty is between the hardware ID (or serial number if they provided one) and your warranty provider (the seller usually). If you make a mistake when setting up Windows for the first time, nobody will ever care because it will be reversed very easily by “resetting your PC”, which means to reinstall Windows on it again.
