Sign-in name change

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft community forum.



Please note that the Sign-in name will be the same that on your Microsoft Account. So if you want to change the name, you will need to
sign in to your account and then click on
Your Info to edit the name. Once you are able to see the changes on Microsoft account, you should be able to see the same on
Windows. If you are still not able to view the changes, then you can follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open Run dialog (by pressing Windows key + R).
   
2. Then type: Netplwiz. This will open the
   User Accounts window.
   
3. Select the User account and then click on Properties.
   
4. Now change the name and click on Apply & then
   Okay.
   
5. Then sign out of the user account and sign in back or simply restart your device. You should be able to view the changes.
   

Regards,
