    Changing the users name

    Hello George,

    We appreciate your time and effort to reach out to us again.

    Please be informed that Microsoft Account does not allow the User account information with only the first name.

    • Follow the below steps in order to be able to change the
      User Accounts name.
    Note: You need Admin rights to do the following.

    1. Press Windows Key + R combination and then type
    netplwiz in the Run dialog box. Click
    OK
    . If prompted for UAC, click Yes.

    2. Now in the User Accounts window, check Users must enter a user name and password to enter this computer, if it is unchecked. In the
    User Name section, select the user name to which you want to change the name and click
    Properties.

    3. In the Properties window, in the User name field, provide the desired user name. Then click
    Apply followed by OK.

    • Follow the below steps to change the "This PC"
      Folder name
    1. Open File Explorer.

    2. In the navigation panel, right click on This PC.

    3. Type in a new name and press Enter.

    4. If you have an explorer window open, then close and reopen it to fully apply.

    You will now see this new name in explorer instead of the default name This PC.

    Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you.

    Thank you.
