How to change Account Name and User Name?

I am the sole user of my pc.

Under Settings/Accounts
my name is:-
John Smith
my email address
Administrator

Q1 How do I change this to just:-
Pete
Administator?

Under This PC
I have drives C, F and G
In C the user is called John
In F user called Pete
In G user called Pete
Q2 How do I rename user John to Pete?

Thanks, Pete

Under Accounts, your name is John Smith.
Isn't there the option "Edit name" right under John Smith ?

Settings > Accounts > right side, Manage my Microsoft account > left side, under your name, Edit name.




I don't know about changing user name.

Tried that but that insists I add a surname in addition to Pete!?

Sorry. I have no answer for that.

Use an AltCode character

The email, you can't do anything about except create an alias.

Mine is 2 AltCode characters!

ok thanks..
Account is now Pete1 :-)

Any thoughts on changing User name?
Cheers, Pete

Do you mean the folder?
You don't really need to.
Unless it bugs you that the folder is named John, then you'll have to create another Admin account and then delete the current one; but it may not go that simple.
I would just forget about the folder, or clean install and start from scratch.

Unsure what you mean "Do you mean the folder?"

I am the only user, I am the administrator etc but the user name shown in the C drive is John and I want to change that to Pete.
