    Renaming Computer name and administrator name throughout


    Hi,


    After renaming the computer name and administrator name, I noticed that changes do not get done throughout.


    How to rename the computer and administrator so that it must be updated throughout?


    If it’s in a network, changes must be updated throughout the network.


    Regards

    :)

    Rename Administrator Name Windows10

    After hours of trying to rename Administrator, between local group search and other steps i found on internet only to come to dead end because Windows 10 does not have local group management, I renamed the profile name under the Microsoft account/email,
    re started the computer and voila! Administrator name changed! So simple!! Hope this helps!

    change windows 10 pc name

    We appreciate you getting back to us. To change the cmd name, we suggest that you follow this steps:

    • Open a Command Prompt (Adimin) window: Win+X, A, Alt+Y
    • Then run the following command to change your computer name to Donner: WMIC ComputerSystem where Name=COMPUTER-NAME call Rename Name=NewName
    • Reboot your PC.
    • Try to run ipconfig / all command, you should find that the Host Name in Windows IP Configuration list has been changed to the new name.

    Keep us posted with the result.

    Windows User name for administrator

    Hi Tony,

    If you wish to rename the Administrator account, you must first be logged on as the administrator to change the account name. Here are the steps on how to change the account username.

    Method 1: Change Local user account name.

    • Press Windows key + R > type netplwiz
      > OK.
    • The User Accounts window will pop up, click User tab, then select the account that you'd like to change the name >
      Properties.
    • On the General tab, enter the your desired user name >
      Apply       > OK.
    • Restart your computer.

    Method 2: Change the user account if you're using a Microsoft account.

    • Go to Settings.
    • Select Accounts > Your Info.
    • Click Manage my Microsoft account. This will take you to Microsoft account settings page.
    • Select Edit name, then change the first and last name , and click
      Save.
    • Restart your computer.

    Feel free to post back should you need further assistance.
