Windows 10: how to rename my user's folder in Microsof Window

I just installed Microsof Window 10 Pro and I noticed that it has assigned a wrong folder name to my user's folder. my first name has 6 letters but it has used 5 letters of it. so it really feels awful to see my name like that. I wish to rename the user name and folder name to my complete name. I have seen links about how to change user name but the folder is still same name


I don't know what benefits logging in with a Microsoft Account has, so if the proposed solution involves using a local user rather than a Microsof account.


P.S. you guys at Microsof really suck at giving a personal experience to your users.

User Folder Renamed

It is totally unclear what you did and how. The fact is that Windows will not let you rename your profile folder while you are logged on. The only way goes like this. Note that this is is an unsupported operation that could cause serious problems:

1. Log on under a different account, one that has admin privileges.
2. Rename the folder C:\Users\Nath to C:\Users\Nathan
3. Adjust certain keys in the registry to reflect the change.

Now please report exactly what you did.
