Windows 10: Different installs - different user names

Over time I had a few retail licenses for Windows 7(seven) Pro and one Windows 10 x64 retail.
In the Windows Explorer->Help->About, they show different users under licensed to.
One old (blabla at hotmail) and one new (blabla at outlook.com)
They are both correct.
I don't use hotmail anymore but outlook.com only.
Is it possible to change that hotmail to outlook ?

thanks

Windows 10 - Two user folders, different names same content

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question but I haven't been able to find my answer by searching. I finally set up my Windows 10 pc and in the Users folder is a username I did not choose for myself - it's really stupid. But at the top, there is a
folder that IS the account I set up. Both folders have the same files. The folder at the top does not list a path and looks like it's equivalent with OneDrive, This PC, Libraries, Network and Control Panel. I'm assuming that this is just an easier way to
view my account and it points to this other user account. But so that I don't confuse things, can the user name in the Users folder be changed to match the account name that I
did set up? I didn't set up the user name in the User Accounts folder and it's not listed in User Accounts in control panel. Very confusing. Thanks.

By the way, this is a new machine and has only been used for a day. Updates have all been done and only Office and Acrobat have been installed.

Thank you for providing the screenshots. We would also like to know which version of version of Windows you are using.

To get the version of your Windows, press Windows key + R and type
"winver" then press Enter.

We also suggest that you check for the latest Windows updates by going to
Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates.

 

How to Change the Registered PC Owner in Any Version of Windows

The display you are asking about is for display purposes only and has no bearing on whether or not Windows is licensed or activated or not, and that information also is just on the local computer and does not affect any records Microsoft keeps. So feel free to change it to whatever you like!

What we have not been able to figure out is sometimes when Windows is set up it will put in the first account created user name in there, and sometimes it will put just Windows User (or something generic like that) in there and we haven't been able to figure out why.

 

Ah, right, many thanks!

With me here, I noticed that Windows is using the first 5 characters of the mail address of the MS account.
That may not always be desirable.
e.g. for hotmail I used a nickname, for outlook my real name.

I will check out the article.

Thanks again!

When you create a new user account whether or not it is installing Windows or just creating a new user account in existing Windows, I always create a local account first. That gives me the exact user name that I want. It also uses that user name to create the folder under Users. Then I convert that account to a MS account - that does not change the user name or the folder name under Users.
