    User name change windows 10


    Hello. I hope there is a brainbox out there to give me some solid help.
    I have changed laptops from a Dell using windows 10 to an Asus using windows 10. I am the only user (administrator). I copied files I wanted on the old laptop across to the new laptop. However the user name on the old laptop is Graham and the username I was given on the new laptop is waveb. The problem now is that my website building program cannot link up to sub-files and folders that it used to because it is showing xxx > Users > waveb and NOT xxx > users > Graham. Please tell me how I can change back to Graham without losing all my settings and preferences etc. and without solving this problem and causing a bunch more.

    :)
