    Change Windows Login Name

    "My ultimate goal is to have my name changed on my Skype account. Which reflects the name on my lock screen."

    Apply Step 5 to change the name on your Local account which is appearing on login screen to the name on you MS account profile that you do want to appear.

    However, the Skype name is separate from the MS account name if you are using the traditional desktop program. You can change the Skype name to match by opening Skype/Skype tab/My account which takes you to Skype account page. Click your picture/Skype alias/Edit profile on next page/Change name here/Save at page bottom. Good Luck

    Cannot change the user login name in Windows 10

    Hi Joseph,

    Thank you for posting in Community.

    We understand your concern and we will provide the assistance required to help you resolve the issue.

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

    • Are you trying to change the name of a Microsoft account or locale account?
    • Do you get any error message when you are unable to delete the account?

    For now, if you are trying to change the login name of the Microsoft account, I suggest that you follow the steps below

    1. Open Settings page and then open Accounts.

    2. Under Your Email and Accounts page click on the Manage my Microsoft accounts link

    3. This will re-direct you to live.com website. Here you enter your credentials and then make the changes that you wish to.

    Hope this helps.

    Login Page has someone else's name

    Login Page Name

    Hi Jyrocopter,

    You can make this change by doing the following:

    - Open Command Prompt as administrator (search for cmd in start menu > right-click to select run as administrator)

    - Enter: net user

    - This will list users on your computer, you will want to use your username in next step

    - Enter: net user <username from above> /fullname:"<Enter display name here>"

    i.e net user testuser2 /fullname:"Test User"

    Hope this helps,

    Nathan
