Maybe you have ever wondered if you can change your username in Windows, the one you use as your main home account to access the operating system and which is registered during the installation itself.
Yeah; It can be changed whether you are using a local account or a Microsoft account that the company advises using for known reasons to extend its own applications and services.

In local accounts (ideal if you do not want to link an online identity and with a higher degree of privacy than those that use the Microsoft ID) the name change can be done easily from the Windows 10 or Windows 11 Control Panel. As follows: shape:
- Access Control Panel from Start Menu > Windows System.
- Click on user accounts.
- Click on ‘change account name’.
- Enter the new account name.
- The new name will appear on the login screen and home screen.
If you use a Microsoft accountyou can also change the username in Windows:
- Go to the Settings tool > Accounts > Your information.
- Click on Accounts (Manage my accounts)
- You will arrive at the Microsoft account page.
- Log in (if prompted), click on the ‘Your information’ tab and then ‘Edit name’.
- Type the new name you want to use for the account, enter the CAPTCHA and save.
- Restart your computer and you should see the new name on the login screen.
