    How do I change just the start up name on my wife's new laptop?


    I got my wife a new laptop. It immediately starts up with my name on the first screen. She wants her name. I don't want to change away from my name across all my systems... just put her name on that one start up screen. It seems confusing and seems to want to changes everything on all my equipment. Sorry to be stupid.Simply stated: How do I edit the name on her new laptop's start up from mine to hers? There has to be some easy way... I hope!Help please!

    :)

    If you desire a name change please do the following:

    • Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
    • Make sure you have a good reason.
    • Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
    • Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.
