How do I change my users name.

take it with this, The username is taken by the old owner.


Since I want to rename it, It doesn't let me edit it.

I don't know if that will stick like that forever.

You can't reliably rename it - you need to add a new user account.

If you add a local account it will create the folder name you give it. See option 3 here https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...a.html#option3

Make it an administrator account. Account Type - Change in Windows 10

You can then sign on to it and link it to a Microsoft account if you wish. Microsoft Account - Switch to in Windows 10. If you create it as a Microsoft Accounts straight off it will give that folder a odd truncated name.

Once you are happy with new account you can move all your documents etc from old account to C:\Users\Public\Documents and delete the old account. Then move them from C:\Users\Public\Documents to wherever you want them in your new account.

I see what you meant. I already did those two things a long time ago.
I made an official account, and made it as an administrator.

I looked at that folder and I found this. The underlined part has all the files.
I don't know what to do next as I'll easily make a mistake.
