Changing an account name
I wanted to down load some solitaire games from Microsoft and of course they made me sign up for an account but since I don't have a Live or Hotmail account it allowed me to use my Gmail account. before I new it it had change my user name on the computer and now it seems like there is no way to change it back. I set up another administer account to change the name the name back to my original user name but I'm not able to do that. Any help out there????
That's the thing about people who think they hate computers. What they really hate is lousy programmers.

It's merely the way things are going. Putting everything into 1 nice package.
Google Drive does the same sorta thing except online. 1 account for everyt5hing including email.
It's also to simplify things across desktop, laptop, tablet, phone.
Change is always met with resistance
