Changing user name
This may be a simple fix, I just can't find it. I bought my daughter a laptop for Christmas so I'm trying to get it all set up now so when she opens it, it will be ready to use. During the set up process I had to sign into my Microsoft account. Now on the main screen it shows my user name. I have named the laptop with her name but how to I change this or sign out or whatever? Thanks!!

What Microsoft account?
Just create another Windows account with her name.

Honestly I have no idea. I guess an account having to do with windows that I must have created at one time or another. I don't remember creating it but they had my e-mail listed as an account. My choice was to either sign in or create one. I didn't want my daughter getting any e-mails before Christmas about this so I used mine. I went into settings and supposedly changed the account info to her name but it still shows my user name on the desktop screen. I will try to create one for her tomorrow. Thanks!
