How do I change the userprofile name of my administrator account in Windows 10?
I have only one account on my pc and its not linked to my Microsoft Account. When I was setting up windows, I accidentally set my name as Asad Nawaz and now my userprofile in C:/Users shows as C:/Users/Asad Nawaz
I want this space removed for obvious reasons. I have already installed a few softwares. Android Studio, MS Office etc to name a few. How can i get them all to point to a new directory without the space.

@AsadNawaz - Linking and unlinking your account is the simplest way to change the name of the profile directory. But the linked duplicate also has other methods to accomplish the same task.
