Changing name on Windows 10 login screen?

I did that and it literally took like half a year for it to show up on the login screen. It should change eventually it just takes forever

 

Well, you have to fill out a form in triplicate, and submit it to Satya Nadella, James Clapper at the NSA, and the FBI. Once all three have approved the change, and after it's been published in the Federal Register for at least 30 days, the name change will be effective.

....Just kidding, uh, sort of.... :badgrin:

 

You need to go the computer settings. It should be under profile settings or something. The computer is off for the day already, but I can give a more detailed description tomorrow.

 

I lied :/ I forgot and watched anime and slept all day. It's my dad's computer, and he's already in bed for the day.

 

I use Windows 7 but it should be similar. To change on Windows 7, go to Control Panel via the Start Menu. Click on "User Accounts and Family Safety". From there, click on "User Accounts", and then "change your account name". I remember that's how both Vista and XP handled account changes too. Hopefully Windows 10 is similar? If not, I apologise that I couldn't be more helpful.

 

It's similar, but you go to either setting, system settings, or account settings (I can't remember which), through the control panel.
