    Change folder name in This PC


    Hi, I just upgrade windows 10 from windows 7 and I'm customizing some default folder to match my settings in my windows 7. I got a little problem and it's really annoying me. Here is the screenshot of my This PC

    as you can see, I change the windows default folder for downloads to drive F:\. How can I make it to show the drive name instead of drive letter? I used the same steps I do in windows 7 and it was working, but in windows 10, it change the download folder to drive letter. Does anyone knows how to edit this? Thanks

    :)

    Change Default Name in Users Folder

    Hi Vincent,

    Renaming User Account folder in Windows 10 is currently not available for Microsoft. You may need to create a new Local User account to resolve your concern.

    We recommend that you check this
    article     and follow the steps provided Greg Carmack- Windows MVP on how to change User Account folder in Windows 10.

    If anything comes up, don't hesitate to get back to us anytime.

    Change Default Name in Users Folder

    Hi,

    I would like to know how can I change my default Users folder name. I have reinstalled Windows for a several times now due to hardware changes. Every time I install Windows and setup my Microsoft account, it uses my old name from previous install which is
    "aljoh." I now want to change it to "Aljohn" so it would be like that when I install the OS and setup my Microsoft account in the future.

    Downloads is a system folder.
    Try restoring to default by selecting Restore Default

    The name "Downloads" will stay even if the location has changed.
