    Windows licenced user, how to change?


    Hello,

    I changed my email address a while ago. I noticed that it still appears when I run Winver.
    The About Windows information includes 'This product is licensed..... to: and then my old email address is shown.

    Is there a way to change this? Do I need to go into the registry? Does it matter...?
