	8 Scripting1851 days ago I can tell you, first, open the Control Panel (NOT SETTINGS), then click on "System And Security" Then click "System" then scroll down and it will say "Change Settings" click that, and then at the bottom of the page that pops up, click change, then change the name to whatever you want, reboot, and your all set. Hope this helps! Upvote0 downvote0

	10 Rob_in_Milan1851 days ago Ay I step in? I've red your questions and all the answers and I get the impression that the initial question is changing its connotation the more the chat develops... First you were looking to change user name, but which kind of user name or ID? Are you taling about your windows local account ID, your microsoft account ID, the computer name/description? Unless you figure out which user name you are refrring too, every one will keep on guessing, and if the guess isn't accurate none of the solutions will work. I recomment to double check exactly what is it you want to change. Once you think to know precicely what that id refers to, simply go the control panel. Then select system (choose small icons so it is easier to select the appropriate "system" option. From this windows you get plenty of information (computer name, description .... and the option to change those settings. But you can also select from control panal windows or web credentials. There you find a list of all the ids and psw. Plus if you still can't find the id you are trying to channge, on the bottom left corner you click on users accounts and you have the complete picture. Still no luck, say two "Ave Maria", Meditate and sleep on it. Tomorrow will bring new advise! :-) Upvote0 downvote0
