Windows 10: How can I change my Windows username that Microsoft account gave me?

I tried to search in Settings, didn't see anything related to username e-mail covered for reasons.



Not that it bothers me or something, I just want to change my username.



I even tried to run "netplwiz" as administrator, and as you can see on image above it's still "tibia" ;/



It would be so nice if someone could help me :

:)

• Once you see your profile, click Edit name.
• Enter the name you want to be as your screen name, then click Save.

Note: There are times that it will take some time until the changes will reflect after you reboot your computer. It’s recommended that you monitor it from time to time.
