I have an install of Windows 7 that I’ve already put a few days into. Today I realized I’ve made a mistake in the username and it’s driving me nuts (my personal OCD).
While changing the physical folder name is perhaps possible, though quite involved, I do not want to open that can of worms.
What I want to do is simply change the username I give when the login prompt shows up. I thought it’s possible by just renaming the user account in the User Accounts but that didn’t work.
Is it possible to do then? Or is the only way to create another user and spend hour migrating everything I’d already customized to that user?
Answer
Make a new account and do a settings and data transfer using Windows Easy Transfer from account to account! Delete the old account. All in all this will not take long depending on the size of your profile.
