Win8 Modify user name and directory name

We remember Win7 can rename the account name, but under the Win8 seemingly this function without the ellipsis how to do it, want to use the user name words need to be local users and Windows Live account associated with the line.

First go to your Windows Live page and change the display name to what you want, switch to a Windows Live account in the Users option in the setting in the changes PC setting. Then enter your login username and password for Windows Live to be OK. Remember to log in later with the Widnows Live ID password, and Windows will change the password if Windows Live changes the password ... If Windows Live changes the password and Windows is not networked, Windows will log on with the last password.

If you also want to change the name of the directory, follow these instructions:

Right-click on the computer, select Manager, locate the administrator in the Users tab in Local Users and groups, double click, tick the account is disabled, and then restart. Log in to the administrator.

Open the UESR folder under C disk in the user of the administrator and rename the original directory.

Press Win+r shortcut to open the Run window, enter regedit, open Registry Editor, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows ntcurrentversionprofilelist

In the inside of a subkey has the ProfileImagePath key, the path to change to your username OK. Restart after the new user, according to the above method again disable off the administrator, ok it's done
