    Hi James,





    Editing the user profile depends on the type of your account. Before we proceed, we would like to confirm if you’re using a Microsoft account or a local account.



    If you are using a Microsoft account, you can edit the sign-in name by following the steps below:



    • Go to Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click Your info.
    • Click the Manage my Microsoft account link.
    • On your Profile, click Edit name.
    • Change your username.
    • Hit Save.
    • Restart your computer.


    If you have a local account, you can edit it by going to the Control Panel. Follow these steps:



    • Type Control Panel in Search.
    • Launch Control Panel.
    • Click the Change account type link.
    • Select your local account.
    • Click the Change the account name link.
