6 Ways to Change User Account Name in Windows 10
In this video we will take a look changing the user account name of a windows computer, I will show you 6 method to doing this task.
Remember before making any changes to your operating system, its best to make a backup.
I would generally use netplwiz to change or create my user names. These methods can be used on other versions of Windows operating systems like Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 /8.1

@yokeshm8203 3 года назад

After lots of try, Method 6 alone works Thanks

@SpiderRealm 6 лет назад

To those who have already changed your account into a local account a while ago, but want to change your name again. Switch to your Microsoft Account (make one if you haven't) and just switch to local account again. It worked perfectly for me! :D

@mudangkano5267 Год назад

@elizavetadoguzova6265 3 года назад

Thank you so much, the last one worked for me , YAY, finally I have changed it.

@khawlaelmaaloum3773 2 года назад

Thanks a lot I was searching for this like for ever

@kennyzhang9560 5 лет назад

A successful way that I used was that I searched up netplwiz on the windows search, then I clicked on properties, after that I erased my current account name and put the one that I wanted, then I pressed the x button and it said that I have to sign out to make the changes, and I clicked yes. And it worked.

@simamkelemadikane 4 года назад

Very good video - it is concise and yet provides many possible solutions. Visually, the video is very easy to follow, especially if you've got a second screen - you can actually try the different options "live". The audio is crystal clear, the speaker's pitch and cadence are pleasantly audible if not perfect, plus he gets straight to the point! By the way, option 6 worked for me! Thank you :)

@ruthbekkam6648 6 лет назад

Thanks Man keep doing this and helping us out.

@yawhackka8622 7 лет назад

Hello Britec 09 there is another way to change User account name. That is Command Prompt way. For Example: Run cmd as administrator privilege then type like this wmic useraccount where name='CurrentName' rename Change_Name then hit enter. It will change CurrentName to Change_Name.

How do ya change the user name in "C:\Users"... folders!? Twice now its shortened my user name from, install from woodiman... to woodi! But Only in the address bar! The Icons said "Woody Man"... that I didnt put in!!! Windows 10 PRO X64 None of these worked... havent tried the regedit... and using the admin account as in other videos yet! First time I did... I couldnt boot... not even in admin!! Had to reinstall! Ideas???

@viliammajer8291 3 года назад

@jackp2088 5 лет назад

First method works. Remember to logoff and logon again to see the immediate change.

@mohamedishran7184 4 года назад

thank you lot my brother... 6th method was useful .

@yeahrightmate 9 месяцев назад

what is the difference between the user name and full name. Thanks.

@edwardmorbius1044 5 лет назад

I have the latest Windows10, and these solutions ONLY PARTIALLY work! Several of the methods listed are accessible to me, and result in an edit field that allows the name to be changed. I could even go back into the listed Users and see the change. BUT Windows Explorer resolutely refuses to see a different renamed user path on the C: drive, even after a cold reboot. How does one change THAT? It will affect a number of programs and backups I have transferred from my old computer, and make for more work.

@majkl98se15 7 лет назад

Doesn't changing the path in the registry result in a temporary user profile? I've tried that when I wanted to make a temporary user profile, and when I changed that to something like TEMP, Windows would get confused and log me in a temporary profile.
