Hello!

I've just reinstalled Win10 and created a second account for my wife. Unfortunately, the login names is the mail she's registered to Microsoft.

How can I change the name.

Follow the steps provided below to change the username and check.

• Press Windows key + X key.

• Go to User Account.
• Click on Manage another account

I don't have that option in Win10.

Thanks for assistance

 

Query about changing the User Accounts name

Hi Jerry,

Perform the steps mentioned below to change the user account name.

• Sign in to the Your info page on the Microsoft account website.
  
• 
  Under your name, select Edit name.
  If there’s no name listed yet, select Add name.
  
• Edit or add the name you want, then choose Save.
  Your Microsoft account name will start to appear or change everywhere you use it.
  

Please revert if you still cannot change the user account name.

Thank you.

 

User Account Name Change


Renaming the user profile folder usually works just fine. You may have some issues with older programs that do not reference the user profile folder correctly though.

Of course, the above doesn't change the name of the user account.

I agree, it is best to create and use a new user account on the PC instead though.
