  1. How to make MSN community profile name different from Microsoft account name?


    Is there any way I could make the name that shows up under my MSN community profile different from the name I have for my Microsoft account? I do not want my computer to refer to me by an alias, but I am not sure I want the comments I make on MSN to have my name under them.* Moved from Community Center

    :)

    Copy Profile to a different Account Name

    Is it possible to copy an account profile to a new account that has a different account name?

    If so, I would love some links to resources on how to do this or a quick run through here, if someone would mind helping. I'm finding that I don't know the first place to start when trying this. I can clone a profile and I can migrate a profile to a new machine, but I am specifically looking to transfer all of the settings for a profile to a new profile to a new, differently named account.

    Query about changing the User Accounts name

    Hi Jerry,

    Perform the steps mentioned below to change the user account name.

    • Sign in to the Your info page on the Microsoft account website.

    • Under your name, select Edit name.
      If there’s no name listed yet, select Add name.
    • Edit or add the name you want, then choose Save.
      Your Microsoft account name will start to appear or change everywhere you use it.

    Please revert if you still cannot change the user account name.

    Thank you.

    How to make MSN community profile name different from Microsoft account name?

    Account name user name

    Ok, let's review.
    • Your Microsoft account aliases do not have the len address listed.
    • Your Microsoft account name online is correct.
    • You have a local account on the PC with the len address shown under "Your info".

    I'm pretty sure you are signed in to an app with the len address, and is why you are seeing this.

    As a test, click on the "Stop signing in to all Microsoft apps automatically" link below to see if that may remove it.
