  1. Change username in Win 10


    Hi



    (How) Can I change that annoying 5-letter username? The only solution I found so far is to set up the computer with a local, not a Microsoft account, but it's too late for that. And starting from scratch would be a massive pain in the ass.



    So is there any other way?



    Thanks

    :)
