That does not change the name as seen in the file manager... The c:\User\MyName remains the same only the displayed names change

it is in the registry... Just live with it. Sorry. There might be a way to change it. I'd not try unless you take an image of the system before you begin... and create a second Admin user account, just in case you blow it.

you may need to have DHCP assign the IP address, then set it a static from inside the router and on the machine. From there, select ic for the Port Forwarding

When an Nvidia starts showing green lines... time for a new one.

HDD or SSD for boot?

I run hiren's on a 2gb, that is OK... Does your MoBo have onboard graphic (I'm too tired right now to look it up)
