To change your legal name in Microsoft, you will need to contact Microsoft support for assistance. Legal name changes typically require verification and approval from Microsoft, especially if the name is associated with certification exams or official accounts. You can submit a support request to initiate this process.

Here are the general steps you may follow:

1. Go to the Microsoft support page.
2. Look for the option to submit a request regarding legal name changes.
3. Provide the necessary details, including your existing name and the new name you wish to use.
4. Follow any additional instructions provided by the support team.

Make sure that the new name matches the name on your government-issued ID, as this is often required for verification purposes.
