  2. What is User Account? A user account is a collection of settings and permissions, specific to a user, that determines what a user can and cannot do on the computer. These settings are also used to protect the user’s files and folders from access by other non-authorised people. When you first purchase or set up Windows 7, you are required to create the initial administrator account. The administrator has full rights and privileges over the computer, and can do pretty much anything they like to it! Administrators should also set up user accounts for each user of the computer. As well as being given their own personal folders, standard users will have limited ability to make changes to the computer, such as changing settings or installing software.

  3. How to Change User Account Name in Windows 10 Most of people ask this question that “I can’t change the User Name in Windows 10″. As Ziggy has asked this question “After I installed Windows 10, I created a Microsoft online account to see what it was like. During the process, it changed the name on my local Windows 10 user account. I used the Control Panel to go to Users, but there seemed to be no way to change the name back to the original. It’s the only account on the computer.

  5. 2. Local Users & Groups (lusrmgr.msc) The second method is another way of changing user account name. Local users and groups tool is the best way to manage your clients.

  6. 3. Registry Editor (Regedit) The Microsoft Registry Editor (regedit.exe) enables you to view, search for, and change settings in your system registry, which contains information about how your computer runs. Although you can use Registry Editor to inspect and modify the registry, doing so is not recommended, as making incorrect changes can damage your system.

  7. 4. Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) Group Policy Editor is a tool that helps administrators manage policy settings in Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins. It can be found on all versions of Windows Server since the release of Windows Server 2003. Group Policy Objects (GPOs) store the policy settings set by administrators with GPO Editor.
