    To change the legal name shown on Microsoft services (including Outlook.com and Outlook on the web), update the Microsoft account display name. That display name is what appears across Windows devices, Outlook email, and other Microsoft services.

    To change the Microsoft account display name:

    1. Sign in to the Microsoft account.
    2. Go to the account profile page where the display name is managed.
    3. Select Edit name.
    4. Enter the correct first and last name (for example, "Shivani Vihar Desai").
    5. Select Save.

    Name changes can take up to 24 hours to appear everywhere.

    If using a work or school account in Outlook on the web and some details such as name or title cannot be edited, those may be controlled by the organization’s IT or HR systems. In that case, contact the admin or HR department to request an update.
