Hi there,

 

I have my account linked to my Microsoft account but my name under C:\Users is Admin? How can I change this to have it say my name or something. I tried removing my Microsoft account and creating a local and it didn't help. I tried a couple of things online and I ended up mucking my account and having temporary accounts. That didn't work at all as it created multiple folders and I couldn't get back my desktop unless I renamed my account back to Admin.

 

See below image.

 

Thank you for reading and your time to help me.

 

Thanks

the folder in c:\users\ will always hold the name it got when the account was first created, renaming the account wont affect the folder name.

 

the way to 'solve' this, is to create a whole new account, sign into that account, and delete the old one (after copying over your stuf, ofcourse).
