    Windows User name for administrator

    Hi Tony,

    If you wish to rename the Administrator account, you must first be logged on as the administrator to change the account name. Here are the steps on how to change the account username.

    Method 1: Change Local user account name.

    • Press Windows key + R > type netplwiz
      > OK.
    • The User Accounts window will pop up, click User tab, then select the account that you'd like to change the name >
      Properties.
    • On the General tab, enter the your desired user name >
      Apply       > OK.
    • Restart your computer.

    Method 2: Change the user account if you're using a Microsoft account.

    • Go to Settings.
    • Select Accounts > Your Info.
    • Click Manage my Microsoft account. This will take you to Microsoft account settings page.
    • Select Edit name, then change the first and last name , and click
      Save.
    • Restart your computer.

    Feel free to post back should you need further assistance.
