Here are the steps to have Windows 10 show the correct registered owner and organization information on your computer.

Windows 10 by default no longer lets users set their registered owner and organization information during installation. Instead, the operating system uses default information, such as your email address if you’re using a Microsoft account, “user name” and “org name” when starting with a local account, or “Windows User” if you’re installing an Insider preview build.

Typically, you’ll only see this information on About Windows, but while there are still a lot of apps that look for these names to customize the experience on Windows 10, or your computer is part of an organization, it’s a good idea to add the correct information.

In this Windows 10 guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to change the registered owner and organization information on your PC using the Registry.

## How to change registered owner and organization info using the Registry

**Important:** As always, this is a friendly reminder warning you know that editing the registry is risky, and it can cause irreversible damage to your installation if you don’t do it correctly. It’s recommended to make a full backup of your computer before proceeding.

1. Use the **Windows key + R** keyboard shortcut to open the **Run** command.
2. Type **regedit** , and click **OK** to open the Registry.
3. Browse the following path:`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion`
4. Inside the **CurrentVersion** (folder) key look for the **RegisteredOwner** String Value. If you don’t have the string, you’ll need to create it:
5. Right-click on the **CurrentVersion** (folder) key, select **New** , and click on **String Value**.

1. Name the new String Value **RegisteredOwner** and press **Enter**.
2. Double-click the **RegisteredOwner** String Value and enter the registered owner information, which usually it’s just your name.
