Change the Registered Owner in Windows

 

If youââ¬â¢ve ever wondered how to change the name of the person that Windows is registered to, this is the quick tip for you. Itââ¬â¢s not all that useful, but it might come in handy if you got a computer from somebody else.

 

Open up regedit.exe through the start menu search box, and then locate the following registry key:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

Now you can find the RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization keys in the right-hand pane. Change them to whatever values you want.

 

To show off the new changes, just type winver.exe into the start menu search box to see the About Windows box:
