Hello, this working for me, thank you. But I have an issue starting applications after the change (administrator to my name, and user name change). When I clicked to windows explores some error on app mapping appeared and I needed to go back to old name. Everything worked after renaming to old one.
Thx

Thank you for your education. I have a question, when we make administrator account, Does it take up volume of drive C and not erase later?

What's your view on ccleaner ? It's had a few problems with malware recently. Is it still any good?

Tried the computer management way since I'm running windows 10 home and the 'local users and groups' tab is not to be found. Any idea as to why it is like that?

[nargesirani]

The second method worked for me, but when I shut down or restart, the same user name appears on the screen! Why is that?
Thanks

My Computer Mgmt doesn't have Local Users and Groups in the drop down list. So what next?
