  3. how to remove the unnecessary names in the opening page of my PC?

    It seems you are referring to local user accounts. If you want to delete all your user accounts, you may try these steps:

    • Go to the Settings app.
    • Locate Accounts and select Family & other users.
    • Click the name of the account that you want to remove and click Remove.
    • When prompted to confirm, click Delete account and data.

    You'll no longer see it from the login screen. Files, program data, and settings stored on the said user account will be deleted as well.

    To change your sign-in screen name, follow the steps below:

    • Open Settings app and navigate to Accounts.
    • Choose Your email and accounts.
    • Select Manage my Microsoft account.
    • Click Edit name on the main page.
    • Change your name and click Save.
    • Restart your PC.

    Get back to us with the outcome so we can help you out further.

    Remove account from old pc

    Hi Richard,

    Apologies for the delay in responding. During this time, have you already removed the account on the PC? In case that you haven't, here are the steps on how you can remove an account in Windows 10.

    Note: Before you can remove an account, you need to create a Local Administrator. Here are the steps:


    • Select the Start button, then select Settings
      > Accounts > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC.

    • Enter a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.

    • To make the new account an administrator account, select Start > Settings > Account > Family & other people, and select Change account type. Under Account type,
      select Administrator > OK. Restart your machine and sign in with the new administrator account.

    To remove a user account in Windows 10, here are the steps:

    • Press Windows key on your keyboard, click on Settings.
    • Click on Account, click on Family and other users.
    • Select the user you want to delete under Other users and click on Remove.
    • Accept the UAC (User Account Control) prompt.
    • Select Delete account and data if you wish to delete account and the data and follow onscreen instructions.

    Let me know if there's anything else you need.
