    Win 10 thinks it's a Win 7 Pro on login screen.


    Hi.
    Sometime ago I updated my brothers win 7 pro to win 10 however when I login with my password it shows on screen as 'Windows 7 Pro' which it isn't any longer.
    I need to change this to Win 10 Pro or something more accurate.
    I have gone through settings, and searched the internet and can only find how to change the computer name not the screen name.
    Could someone please point me to the right tutorial cos' this is doing my head in!

    I need to alter it as I am going to sell his PC as he can no longer use it due to dementia. A very intelligent man who now does not know what day it is or who I am. He has more need of the money and no need of a PC.

    Thank you for your help.

    :)
