if i keep it as it is at the moment, how will it affect my PC via new apps installing or network statisics

you mean if you keep this new user as it is without moving the old data..... then nothing will happen,.... applications will create new data for this user.... and you will not see the outlook mails here of the old user as they are present in the old profile still...... :)
