    How to rename Personal Folder in Windows 11?


    Hi,On windows 11, when installing the windows 11 operating system, it is mandatory to log in to your microsoft account online, so the name of the user folder folder is no longer exactly the same as on windows 10. I have tried many ways but if I customize it with regedit, There will be some other software errors when installing. I think in windows 11 should allow users to set offline accounts like on windows10. How can I do renaming it on window11? looking forward to everyone's help. Sincere thanks!

    :)
