  3. Microsoft account name change not working on laptop

    Hi Nathan,

    There might be some conflicts on the settings of your PC and your Microsoft account. We would like to ask some questions for clarification:

    • Did you follow the steps provided on this
      article
      to change the name of your Microsoft account?
    • Have you tried checking if there available updates for your Windows 10?
    • When you said that "when I log on to my laptop the user account is still showing the old name", are you referring on the sign-in screen name?
    Regards.

    I need help changing my old Microsoft name to my current Microsoft name. I need an expert...

    You can change the name of Microsoft in the user folder?


    Hello,
    you can change the name of Microsoft in the user folder? (That would be the first 5 characters Microsoft account)
    I wish I could do this without losing anything of what I have currently installed.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
