How to modify the Win7/Win8.1/Win10 login name?

UAC in Win7/Win8.1/Win10 is the “User Account Control” function, which allows users to ask whether they are given when the program intends to use administrator rights. The purpose of this feature is to prevent certain ulterior programs from taking advantage of this privilege. However, in some cases, some users find that the UAC dialog box cannot be clicked, and it is unable to let the trusted program continue to run. The reason for this is that the current account has low permissions and does not enter the administrators group. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, you need to improve account permissions.

The method is not difficult, as follows:

1. Activate the administrator account Administrator:

1 Run CMD as administrator

2 Execute net user Administrator /active:yes (as shown below)

#FormatImgID_1#

3 Switch to the Administrator account, as shown below ——

2. In the administrator account, Execute the following command in administrator mode:

net localgroup Administrators Your account login name /add

Win10 accounts are divided into local and online. Online Microsoft accounts use more because of the ability to enable features such as app store and sync settings. Users logging in with a Microsoft account can change the display name by modifying the account name, but they must be operated online, and the control panel and “Settings cannot be modified. If you log in with a local account, you can modify the display name in the control panel.

But sometimes you need to change the login name. At this time, changing the display name will not work. For example, in some enterprise networks, users need to know the login name in order to connect to Active Directory and other content. In addition, depending on the device type and network settings, when connecting to different types of network shares or managing other computer resources, you may be asked for a login name, so it is necessary to know and modify this name.

This method is also applicable to the Win7/Win8.1 system, which can be set in the computer management → local users and groups.

The specific method is as follows:

1. Right click on the Win10 Pro Start button and select “Computer Management”.

2. Click on “Local Users and Groups” to find the account you want to change.

3, & ldquo; Name & rdquo; a column shows the account login name, which is the standard user name; & ldquo; full name & rdquo; is the display name, convenient for users to identify.

4, right click on the selected account, select “ rename & rdquo; can modify the login name (above); after selecting the property, you can modify the full name (display name) in the pop-up window, As shown below ——

It should be noted that Windows 10 Home Edition < Computer Management" has no such functionality, so related users are temporarily unable to use this method.

3. After logging out, log in to the original account again. At this time, the account has been added to the administrator group and has UAC control authority.

After the modification is complete, it is best to close the Administrator account to avoid illegal exploitation by malware.
