is this guy just ignoring all who say "acct name isn't listed"?? He gets you gon in the right direction, which is awesome.. So to all not seeing it, just click acct type choose you acct and the option will be there... just had to dig a lil bit deeper is all.
Thank you this was super simple. Right to the point for one of the options. Thank you so much! I watched other videos and did not work with computer I had. Was getting way too complicated.
Change the name of a local account To change how your name appears on the lock screen: Select the Start button, type Control Panel, and select Control Panel from the list of results. Select User Accounts, and then select Change account type. Select the account you want to change, select Properties, and then enter a new name for User name. Select OK.
Thanks for quick, clear and straightforward video without the need of jumping three minutes forward just to get to the solution. I don't have Microsoft Account and was desperate how to change that name. Thanks for saving my sanity.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I recently got a new computer and I've been trying ALL day. I even called and spoke with Google One and they had NO IDEA!!! YOU'RE AMAZING!!! THANKS AGAIN!! 😊
The 1st option you showed didn't even give me the option to change my name. The second option you showed worked I can't believe it finally. Thank you sir
thanks lol. u have to change the name on the classic setting in Control Panel and not the Windows 10 default setting. its confusing me that I go search of how to change the name. thumbs up for u
Thx so much dude a quick tip to some people who are using this technique make sure you restart your pc or laptop and the name you changed will appear on your screen.
It's March 2020 there are only three options: 1. Change your account type. 2. Manage another account & 3. Change User Account Control settings. Can't do it.
same. My username has a password even though I never set a password, I only set a PIN. I need to know my password because I want to make a backup using a "network location". They don't make it easy
I was also having trouble changing my account user name. Havent been able to change it since I bought my computer (2yeard ago😓) But I saw a tutorial by majorgeeks and it helped me! Here is step by step! Window key + r Type: netplwiz Click "properties" Input the name that u want in the "Full name" section and that's it! Restart your computer and you should be able to see your new account name
thank you bro, for everyone saying they can’t see it i couldn’t either but did you watch the whole video? 😂 he literally explains it and gives the second option
Check if there is change account type.. Then click it. Then inside that option again change account type. Then the local account administrator icon with current name will appear click on it. Left side you may find change the account name option.. This was my PC case
thanks this is an absolute live saver because in the future ill be going on online classes and the teacher would say "WHO THE HELL IS ITSCRAYCRAYANIME FAN LOL"
You helped me a lot! Bought a new computer couldn't figure out how to change name so thankyou so much! Really recommend you! Liked and subscribed as well!!@@
