在Windows 10中更改用户帐户(user account)的名称可能很棘手。该过程因您的权限和用户帐户(user account)的类型而异，但我们会尽量让您一目了然。如果您曾经问过自己“如何在Windows 10中重命名帐户？”，请不要再犹豫了。在本教程中，我们将分享如何重命名本地帐户和Microsoft帐户。让我们开始吧：
注意：(NOTE:)提供的功能在Windows 10 November 2019 更新(Update)或更新版本中可用。如果您使用的是旧版本的Windows 10，您可能无法访问所有功能。检查您的Windows 10版本，并在必要时获取可用的最新Windows 10更新。
首先(First)要做的事情：更改帐户名称时要考虑的(account name)帐户类型和权限(Account)
在Windows 10中，您会在登录屏幕上看到您的(login screen)用户帐户(user account)名称。要更改您的帐户名称(account name)，需要执行不同的步骤，具体取决于您的帐户权限以及您使用的是本地帐户还是Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)。
Windows 10 鼓励家庭用户使用Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)登录，以便同步他们的设置和文件。如果您使用Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)登录，更改帐户名称(account name)也更容易，因为您不需要“特殊”权限：标准帐户和管理员(Administrator)帐户的过程相同。
但是，当涉及到本地用户帐户时，您需要管理权限才能更改您的帐户名称(account name)。简单地(Simply)说：只有管理员帐户(Administrator account)有权更改本地帐户的名称，无论是他们的帐户还是其他(account or someone)人的帐户。因此，如果您使用的是本地帐户并且没有管理权限，则需要管理员(Admin)来执行本教程中显示的步骤。
如何在Windows 10中更改Microsoft 帐户的名称(Microsoft account)
如果您使用Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)登录Windows 10 ，则(Windows 10)登录屏幕上(login screen)显示的名称会自动与您的Microsoft 个人资料(Microsoft profile)中的名称同步。要更改它，您需要在线更新这些设置。幸运的是，这个过程很简单：
首先，打开设置(Settings)应用程序——我们发现使用键盘快捷键(keyboard shortcut) Win + I最容易做到这一点。然后，转到帐户(Accounts)。
这将从帐户(Accounts)设置中打开您的信息选项卡。(Your info)在右侧，在您的帐户详细信息下，单击或点击(click or tap)“管理我的 Microsoft 帐户("Manage my Microsoft account)”。
您的默认浏览器(default browser)将打开，您可能需要登录您的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)（除非您已经登录）。
在您的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)主页(Homepage)上，按您的帐户详细信息下的更多操作。(More actions)
这将打开一个下拉菜单。单击(Click)或点击第一个选项Edit profile。
在下一页上，您可以在您的姓名下找到您需要的选项。单击(Click)或点击编辑名称(Edit name)。
使用名字(First name)和姓氏(Last name)字段输入您想要的名字。在按Save之前，不要忘记在图像中“输入您看到的字符”("Enter the characters you see")。
您将返回到您的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)的个人资料(Profile)页面，您可以在其中看到您的新名称显示在顶部。要查看您在Windows 10中应用的更改，请切换到另一个用户帐户(user account)或重新启动您的 PC。当您重新登录帐户时，您的设置会同步，并且您的姓名会在整个Windows 10中更新。
如何从Windows 10的控制面板(Control Panel)更改本地管理员帐户的名称(Administrator account)
要更改本地管理员帐户(Administrator account)的名称，请首先打开控制面板(Control Panel)并访问用户帐户(User Accounts)。
在下一页上，单击或点击用户帐户(User Accounts)。
访问“更改您的帐户名称”("Change your account name")链接。
注意：如果您通过(NOTE:)Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)登录，则此链接不可用，因此请向上滚动到上一部分进行更改。如果您使用的是标准帐户，这就是UAC弹出的地方，要求提供管理员凭据。
插入“新帐户名称("New account name)”，然后单击或点击更改名称(Change Name)。
Logout，并且您的用户帐户名称(user account name)会在您下次登录时更新。
如何从 Windows 10 的控制面板更改本地帐户的(Windows 10)名称(Control Panel)
如前所述，您需要管理员(Administrator)权限才能更改本地（非 Microsoft）标准帐户(standard account)的用户名。打开控制面板(Control Panel)并访问
“User Accounts ->User Accounts”，如上一节所示。在下一个屏幕上，单击或点击(click or tap)“管理另一个帐户("Manage another account)”。如果您的帐户没有管理权限，则会弹出UAC ，要求(UAC)管理员(Admin)插入他们的凭据。
在“管理帐户(Manage Accounts)”屏幕中，您可以查看 Windows 10计算机或设备(computer or device)上的所有用户帐户、其帐户类型和权限(account type and permissions)。单击(Click)或点击要重命名的本地帐户。(Local Account)
在下一个屏幕上，访问“更改帐户名称”("Change the account name")链接。
在字段中输入新帐户名称(New account name)。然后，单击或点击(click or tap)更改名称(Change Name)。
新名称已更新并显示在登录屏幕上(login screen)。
如何在Windows 10中使用 netplwiz 更改本地帐户的名称(Windows 10)
管理员还可以使用netplwiz应用程序重命名本地用户帐户(user account)。首先，按键盘快捷键(keyboard shortcut)Win + R运行”窗口(Run window)，然后插入“ netplwiz ”。按键盘上的OK或Enter 。
在“用户帐户”窗口的“(User Accounts)用户(Users)”选项卡中，选择一个本地非 Microsoft 帐户 -在“用户名”(User Name)列中显示名称而不是电子邮件地址的条目。(email address)单击或点击属性(Properties)。
重要提示：(IMPORTANT:)如果您使用Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)登录并尝试使用netplwiz重命名您的(netplwiz)用户帐户(user account)，您的更改会暂时显示，但 Windows 10 不会记住它们。下次登录时，您的用户名会同步，并显示您的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)名称。
在显示本地帐户属性的下一个窗口中，在(Properties)全名字(Full name)段中插入所需的名称，然后按OK。
您将返回到“用户帐户(User Accounts)”窗口。再次单击或点击确定(OK)以保存更改。如果您正在重命名另一个本地帐户，您可以看到新名称立即更新。
但是，如果您使用正在重命名的本地帐户登录，则会弹出一个窗口提供有关您的更改的信息，询问您是否要退出。单击(Click)或点击是(Yes)。
您已注销，您的新用户帐户名称(account name)将显示在登录屏幕上(login screen)。
提示：(TIP:)netplwiz应用程序是我们另一个教程的主题，该教程说明了如何在不输入密码的情况下自动登录Windows（使用 netplwiz）。
如何使用Windows 10中的计算机管理更改本地帐户的名称(Computer Management)
您还可以启动计算机管理(Computer Management)并使用它来重命名本地用户帐户(user account)。要打开它，请按开始(Start)，打开“Windows 管理工具”("Windows Administrative Tools")文件夹，然后访问计算机管理(Computer Management)。在计算机管理(Computer Management)窗口中，打开本地用户和组(Local Users and Groups)，然后打开用户(Users)。在右侧，您会看到 Windows 10 计算机上所有用户帐户的列表。
双击或双击要重命名的用户帐户以打开其(user account)属性(Properties)。在全名字(Full name)段中键入本地用户帐户(user account)的所需名称，然后按OK。
注销以在登录屏幕上查看新的用户帐户名称。(user account name)
重要提示：(IMPORTANT:)如果您使用Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)登录并尝试使用计算机管理重命名您的(Computer Management)用户帐户(user account)，您的更改会暂时显示，但 Windows 10 不会记住它们。下次登录时，您的用户帐户会同步(account syncs)，并显示您的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)名称。
为什么要更改您的帐户名称(account name)？
我们经常在公共场所使用我们的设备。看到人们对我们表现出兴趣可能会很受宠若惊，但是当他们从我们的屏幕上读到我们的名字后（当我们登录时）叫我们名字时，这有点太跟踪了。你呢？您想重命名帐户的原因是什么？在评论中告诉我们。
How to change your user account name in Windows 10
Changing the name of yoυr user account in Windows 10 cаn bе trickу. The process differs dеpending on your permissions and the type of your user account, but we try to make it crystal-clear for you. If you ever asked yourѕelf "How do I rename an account in Windows 10?", look no further. In this tutorial we share how to rename both local accounts and Microsoft аccounts. Let's get stаrted:
NOTE: The features presented are available in Windows 10 November 2019 Update or newer. If you are using an older version of Windows 10, you might not have access to all the features. Check your Windows 10 build and, if necessary, get the latest Windows 10 update available.
First things first: Account types and permissions to consider when you change your account name
In Windows 10, you see the name of your user account displayed on the login screen. To change your account name, there are different steps to follow depending on your account's permissions and on whether you're using a local or a Microsoft account.
Windows 10 encourages home users to sign in with a Microsoft account in order to sync their settings and files. It is also easier to change your account name if you sign in using a Microsoft account because you don't need "special" permissions: the process is the same for both standard and Administrator accounts.
However, when it comes to local user accounts, you need administrative permissions to change your account name. Simply put: only an Administrator account has the privileges to change the name of a local account, whether it's their account or someone else's. So if you are using a local account and you don't have administrative rights, you need an Admin to follow the steps shown in this tutorial.
How to change the name of your Microsoft account in Windows 10
If you sign into Windows 10 using a Microsoft account, the name displayed on the login screen is automatically synced with the one in your Microsoft profile. To change it, you need to update those settings online. Luckily, the process is straightforward:
First, open the Settings app - we find it easiest to do that using the keyboard shortcut Win + I. Then, go to Accounts.
This opens the Your info tab from Accounts settings. On the right-hand side, under your account details, click or tap on "Manage my Microsoft account."
Your default browser opens, and you might have to sign in to your Microsoft account (unless you're already logged in).
On the Homepage of your Microsoft Account, press on More actions, under your account details.
This opens a drop-down menu. Click or tap on the first option, Edit profile.
On the next page, you can find the option you need under your name. Click or tap on Edit name.
Use the First name and Last name fields to enter your desired name. Don't forget to "Enter the characters you see" in the image, before pressing Save.
You are returned to your Microsoft account's Profile page, where you can see your new name displayed on top. To see your changes applied in Windows 10, switch to another user account or restart your PC. When you sign back into your account, your settings are synced, and your name is updated throughout Windows 10.
How to change the name of your local Administrator account from the Control Panel in Windows 10
To change the name of your local Administrator account, begin by opening the Control Panel and accessing User Accounts.
On the next page, click or tap on User Accounts.
Access the "Change your account name" link.
NOTE: This link is not available if you are logged in through a Microsoft account, so scroll up to the previous section to change it. If you are using a standard account, this is where the UAC pops up, asking for admin credentials.
Insert a "New account name," and then click or tap on Change Name.
Logout, and your user account name is updated the next time you sign in.
How to change the name of a local account from the Control Panel in Windows 10
As explained earlier, you need Administrator privileges to change the username of a local (non-Microsoft) standard account. Open the Control Panel and access
"User Accounts ->User Accounts," as illustrated in the previous section. On the next screen, click or tap on "Manage another account." If your account does not have administrative privileges, this is where the UAC pops up, asking an Admin to insert their credentials.
In the Manage Accounts screen, you can see all the user accounts on your Windows 10 computer or device, their account type and permissions. Click or tap on the Local Account you want to rename.
On the next screen, access the "Change the account name" link.
Type a New account name in the field. Then, click or tap on Change Name.
The new name is already updated and is displayed on the login screen.
How to change the name of a local account using netplwiz in Windows 10
An Administrator can also use the netplwiz app to rename a local user account. To start, open the Run window by pressing the keyboard shortcut Win + R and insert "netplwiz." Press OK or Enter on your keyboard.
In the Users tab of the User Accounts window, select one of the local, non-Microsoft accounts - the entries displaying a name, and not an email address in the User Name column. Click or tap on Properties.
IMPORTANT: If you login with a Microsoft account and try to rename your user account with netplwiz, your changes are displayed for the moment, but Windows 10 does not remember them. The next time you sign in, your username syncs, displaying the name of your Microsoft account.
In the next window showing the Properties of the local account, insert your desired name in the Full name field, and press OK.
You are returned to the User Accounts window. Click or tap OK again to save your changes. If you were renaming another local account, you can see the new name updated immediately.
However, if you are logged in with the local account you were renaming, a pop-up offers info about your changes, asking if you want to sign out. Click or tap on Yes.
You are logged out, and your new user account name is displayed on the login screen.
TIP: The netplwiz app is the subject of another one of our tutorials, that illustrates How to automatically login into Windows, without typing a password (using netplwiz).
How to change the name of a local account using Computer Management in Windows 10
You can also start Computer Management and use it to rename a local user account. To open it, press Start, open the "Windows Administrative Tools" folder, and access Computer Management. In the Computer Management window, open Local Users and Groups and then Users. On the right, you see a list of all the user accounts on your Windows 10 computer.
Double-click or double-tap on the user account that you want to rename to open its Properties. Type the desired name for the local user account in the Full name field, and then press OK.
Sign out to see the new user account name on the sign in screen.
IMPORTANT: If you login with a Microsoft account and try to rename your user account with Computer Management, your changes are displayed for the moment, but Windows 10 does not remember them. The next time you sign in, your user account syncs, displaying the name of your Microsoft account.
Why did you want to change your account name?
We often use our devices in public places. It can be flattering to see people show an interest in us, but when they call us by name after reading it off our screen (while we were logging in), it is a bit too stalkerish. What about you? What's your reason for wanting to rename your account? Let us know in a comment.
