Username changing

[Leader-of-hungary]

I've been trying to change the account name of my admin (me) to something else. Every article I've looked at told me the same thing and none of them worked. I have windows 10 home. If anyone could help that would be great.

Can't you just do it from control panel?

If I can I don't know how

What did the guides say to do?

 

 

There should be a "users and accounts" or something tab in control panel. There you should find your account, and you should be able to change the name. But I don't use Windows, so don't quote me on that.

They did say that but that didn't come up when I did those things.

Screenshot what "isn't coming up".

I figured it out. I did one other way that was in the article and it solved the problem.

You cannot change your user account name. Not really. Your directory name remains the same, registry entries remains the same, the only difference is that your new username is displayed and used by some games or programs. Check your users folder and tell me - is your user name folder inside with new name?
