Take a full backup of your files and create a system restore point. If you do anything wrong it may break the user account, even if you miss a space things might break. Some users have reported that they weren't able to login back to account. If you do exactly the same as video it won't break anything but still take a backup to be on a safer side.

For those who are getting Desktop is unavailable after going back to original accoutn, just find somehow in the explorer desktop (I found on the left side under This PC) right click, properties, Location, you will see that there is your old username location, click on restore default, or just manually enter new user name instead of old one and click ok, than ignore, than yes than yes if all that prompts appear I FEEL YOU ALL, that was miserable all this user name changing stuff

Please make sure to make a backup. I accidentally screwed things up because I didn't realize that my copied SID wouldn't be able to be pasted in another account, so when I tried to log into my main account halfway through the tutorial everything was messed up. Thankfully I had my backup but things still weren't right, I had to move files from the new user drive (the one with the name I want) to my original user drive because for some reason only certain apps were transferred from each accounts. TL;DR Make sure to physically note down the SID and always make backups when doing these kinds of things.

Hi Sandeep, firstly wanted to thank you for your clear and precise instructions that were easy to follow - I am very appreciative. I have a brief piece of information to share with you that may be helpful for others using Windows 11: I was following all of your steps up until renaming the User after signing into the "temp" Windows account and opening cmd as admin. When I came to this step and followed your instructions (cd c:\users --> c:\Users> ren "Windows 10" iTechFever), I kept getting a message that the syntax was incorrect. I could not figure out the issue, so I went to File Explorer, This PC, Local Disk (C:), Users, and miraculously, I was able to edit the old name of my User account to my preferred new name. This was something I tried to do before viewing your video while logged into my regular-use account, but it obviously didn't work. Please let me know if I need to clarify anything in my comment, but long story short, if you're using Windows 11, follow all of Sandeep's amazing tips, and when you get to the step I described above, rather than opening the cmd as the "temp" user, just jump straight to File Explorer and edit the name of the user account directly following the path I outlined above. I followed the rest of your video through to the end and everything seems to be working fine. Thank you so much again Sandeep, truly one of the most helpful and direct videos I have ever come across!

I'd suggest please don't mess with user file name change, any mistake can render the system unusable... Backup files in external drives(pendrives /cloud) before doing this.. Any way changing name isn't worth it when it comes with data loss risk in hand. Few Windows setting are truly a headache.

Ah I actually know the fix for this one! In the registry editor, press ctrl + F, and search for the old username. Then simply replace the old username in the "Data" section with the new one for all the search finds/ programs, it takes longer the more programs you have, hope this helps!

Thank you! The person who set up my pc (I guess he thought he was being nice by doing it for me, but instead makes me feel like he thinks I couldn't have done it myself or would have prefered not to) used a stupid childhood nickname that he never called me anyway. I'm trans. It was related to my deadname. Now I don't have to be deadnamed by my own laptop every time I use it. Genuinely, thank you so much.
