    Windows 10. User Names, Profiles.


    Windows 10 ... Experts.

    I have a very simple Question.

    On a Brand New Computer when I first turn it on and establish a User ID John D. Administrator Account.

    Windows 10 Creates the Original Users Folder John D.


    Then I give the Computer to a Friend, and he changes the Original User ID From John D. to Johnny Smith. Which Originally was John D.


    Will the Windows 10 OS Create a New Users Folder and Profile for Johnny Smith or will it automatically ReName he User ID and Folder and Profile to Johnny Smith.

    Your help will be appreciated.
    Thank You !

    Need help with changing name of user profile folder


    I would like to change the name of the user profile folder. I have found and tried a few methods including one from Microsoft forums. None of them worked. I kept getting something about my User needing to sign out and back in again that there was a problem, so I would sign out and back in again and it didn't work. I think the reason is because Windows created a TEMP user and would log me in under that so there would be a folder named C/User/TEMP and still the original named folder of C/User/myuserfolder.

    I found this on the forums here: Change Name of User Profile Folder in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials

    The instructions are very similar to what I have tried. In the above post John W used safe mode. Do I need to go through all the steps again as listed in the post and then go into safe mode, or can I just use safe mode to change the folder name?

    Also, are there newer instructions for how to do this with updates to Windows since the above thread was posted over a year ago?

    Thanks in advance.
