Is it possible to change your user name?

Are you talking about a LOCAL USER ACCOUNT or PC NAME?

 

Create a local user account first, that will create a directory with the exact same name in c:\Users. Change to a Microsoft account later if desired (directory name will NOT change).

 

do anyone have any idea that will keep the data in the current profile !!

 

OK easy open and signin with a NEW USER (the name you want). when loged in and set the way you want it
2. make sure #2 New is in the Admin group.
3. change the #1 bad name from Admin group to normal user
4. Now you can simply Delete the #1 name (account) . and you will be the only
person with new name as Admin...

 

That'll delete the account he's trying to rename. If that's the only way, I'll be annoyed.

on system i have this i did not have to reinstall a single app
my system installed with windows 7/office 2010 and all tools.
primary user was username1@mydomain with profile path C:\users\username1

Then i used lusrmgr to create user username1 as local user.
NOTE : did not login with this userid in system so no profile is created
Then used profwiz to transfer username1@mydomain to local user username1.

Next rebooted system and logged in as local user username1.
All settings data and applications available even licenses of purchased app for user.

Never used to transfer local username1 to local username2. But i understand you dont need to re-install any programs.
