To change your local administrator name on a Windows computer, you can follow these steps:
1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard or click on the Windows icon in the taskbar to open the Start menu.
2. In the search box, type “Computer Management” and select the “Computer Management” app from the results.
3. Once the Computer Management window is open, click on “Local Users and Groups” in the left-hand pane to expand it.
4. Select the “Users” folder under Local Users and Groups.
5. In the middle pane, you will see a list of users on your computer. Right-click on the “Administrator” user and select “Rename” from the context menu.
6. A text box will appear over the username. Type a new name for the administrator account.
7. Press Enter or click outside the text box to save the new name.
It’s important to note that changing the local administrator username does not change the Microsoft account administrator name associated with your Microsoft account. The local administrator account is separate from your Microsoft account. If you want to change the administrator name associated with your Microsoft account, you will need to change it through the Microsoft account settings.
To change your Microsoft account administrator name, you can follow these steps:
1. Open a web browser and go to the Microsoft account website (account.microsoft.com).
2. Sign in to your Microsoft account using your email address and password.
3. Once signed in, click on your profile picture or initials in the top right corner of the page.
4. From the drop-down menu, select “View account” or “My account” to access your account settings.
5. On the Account settings page, click on “Your info” or “Personal info” to manage your personal information.
6. Look for the option to change your name or display name. Click on it.
7. You will be prompted to enter your new name. Make the desired changes and click on the Save or Update button to save your new name.
It’s worth mentioning that changing your Microsoft account administrator name may affect how your name is displayed in various Microsoft services and products, such as Office 365, Outlook, and Skype. It may take some time for the changes to reflect across all Microsoft platforms and applications.
By following these steps, you can easily change the local administrator name on your Windows computer and the Microsoft account administrator name associated with your Microsoft account.
