  1. Change "computer/name" owner


    I installed windows 11. After giving a computer name and a fresh install with nothing requested from profiles. A root "computer/name" was assigned as owner without me entering "name". I did sign in with my email account which is on multiple computers I own. How do I change this "name" portion. Seems to be tied to my one drive account which based on registry entries. Nothing on google seems to work even after a reinstall from the cloud. I'm happy to delete my one drive account and reinstall.

    :)

    Old Owner Name

    I bought a used Axim. I changed the Device ID in Settings -> System ->

    About. I changed the owner name in Settings -> Personal -> Owner Info.

    But when I use Send To on a Windows 7 "desktop", the option for my

    Axim lists the old owner's name. Not a major problem, but definitely

    annoying. I couldn't find that name in the registry (on the Axim).

    Can anyone suggest another place to look?

    Thanks.

  4. Change "computer/name" owner

    My Name is Owner on Used Computer but PNG docs show previous Owner

    dalchina, Thank you for your reply. I changed the Default Author Name in PowerPoint, but it didn't work for the PNG file even thought before I save the PowerPoint PNG file the author's name was mine. I also logged out of PowerPoint and started it again with no change. The Owner info still shows: DESKTOP\[former owner's name here]. My product is Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2021. There should be an image that shows the PNG file Properties. The info blacked out are numbers that I'm not sure is some sort of identification of my computer, and the red has the former name of the owner. Do you have any other suggestions?

    I opened the PNG file and it seems to be treated as a photo and could see no way in the photo editing program to make it not use the name of the previous owner.
