    We'd like to know if you are referring to Changing the Display name of the local User Account? If yes, you may refer to this link on how to rename a Windows 10 local user account. Or if you're referring to your Microsoft local account you may follow these steps:

    1. Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and select Control Panel.
    2. Click the Change account type link.
    3. Select your local account.
    4. Click the Change the account name link.
    5. Enter the new name for the account.
    6. Click the Change Name button to complete the task.

    We'll keep an eye out for your response.

    Hi Johnson,

    Yes, there is a way on how you can change your PC name. Here are the steps:

    1. In the Search Bar type Control Panel.
    2. Go to System and Security.
    3. Under System click See the name of this computer.
    4. On the left side of Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, click Change settings.
    5. Windows will now need to restart, so save any files you have open, and then click OK.

    Let us know how that turned out for you.

    We appreciate you getting back to us. To change the cmd name, we suggest that you follow this steps:

    1. Open a Command Prompt (Adimin) window: Win+X, A, Alt+Y
    2. Then run the following command to change your computer name to Donner: WMIC ComputerSystem where Name=COMPUTER-NAME call Rename Name=NewName
    3. Reboot your PC.
    4. Try to run ipconfig / all command, you should find that the Host Name in Windows IP Configuration list has been changed to the new name.

    Keep us posted with the result.
