    New PC is automatically setting up with my deadname and I can't change it


    I just got a new laptop today and I was going through the motions of setting it up, and only connected one gmail account admittedly an old one I made in college that nevertheless has most of my google data attached to it and my microsoft account. Both accounts were made before I changed my name, but I have since changed the names on them so they've been up to date for a while. For some reason my new computer is labelling my userprofile and documents either as my deadname or as the first five letters of my college email, which is not even a name my folder in the users section of the computer
