    Changed device name but user name remained unchanged

    Hi Norbert,

    Changing the device name may take effect after restarting your computer. It's like making some changes to your computer and needs a restart or reboot for the changes to take effect. However, we suggest that you check if the old user profile are still on
    your computer. Here are the steps on how to do so:

    • Signed out from the profile that you want to change or remove.
    • Go to System Properties.
    • Press the Windows + R on your keyboard, then yype in SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe on the dialogue box.
    • Once done, click on Settings button under User Profiles.
    • Choose the user profile that you want, then click on delete if it's still there.
    • Click Yes to confirm.

    We're looking forward to your feedback

    I rec'd my laptop from my son. I am basically a beginner using a computer. I have already changed the PC Name and the user local admin account name which is easy enough, but the folder name (which I don't like) is unchanged. What is the step by step procedure
    needed to change the folder name?
