    Hello,

    I am sorry if I misunderstood your concerns. If I understand correctly, you want to change your account username so that your preferred name is displayed when you send emails. Please use the link below to log in to your account and make the necessary changes:

    https://account.microsoft.com/profile

    Please follow these instructions to modify your display username:

    First, select "Your Info."

    1. Choose the name you wish to use as your display username by clicking "Edit Name" and then choosing your preferred name.
    2. Choose "Save," then reload the website.
    3. Please be aware that synchronizing your new display username could take some time.

    Warm Regards,

    Arif

    1. Open outlook.com and select the gear icon in the top right corner of the page.
    2. On the dropdown menu at the bottom, select "See all Outlook settings."
    3. "Compose and reply" can be found in the left-hand menu.
    4. You can modify how your name appears by modifying the "From name" column under "Message format."
