Do you mean the screen where you log in? or the screen that pops up when you click the Windows icon in the lower left of the screen (left side of the taskbar)? I'm not finding much other than ***this Microsoft page***. If your computer is set up to use a Microsoft account online, the screen where you log in will display different information than if your computer is set to use a "Local" account. Could that be why you're seeing a difference?

I assume you mean the log-in screen? Try logging out and logging back in... other than the Microsoft account or the local account that Jenny mentioned, I'm coming up blank here. You might check your accounts to see how they are listed.

For sure if you ever sell a computer scrub the hard drive or at a minimum delete your account. Personally, I scrub the drive completely as Jenny suggests.
Did you check in your accounts list to see how your account is listed? Did you try a reboot yet? Or logging out and then back in?

Go to your accounts... Start/Settings/Accounts. That should tell you what you are signed in to. There will be an option to sign in with a local account instead. I have a feeling you're right - downloading the backgrounds probably left you signed in to the Microsoft account. I download from there all the time, but I usually just stay signed into my Microsoft account. You can always just delete that account later.

looking for some easy method like that to get rid of my name. I think the only "easy" way to do that is to be logged into your Local Account instead of your Microsoft Account.

Exactly what I've been saying... Go to your accounts and see what account you are signed into.

Exactly what I've been saying... I know. I had the problem with Windows 8. I had to make a Microsoft account to get Windows Solitaire (which doesn't come with Windows 8 by default). I downloaded it, decided I didn't like that new version, and got rid of it. But next time I tried to log into Windows I was presented with the Microsoft Account login instead of my regular login. I had to go online and look for instructions on how to get my login back to normal (normal is the "Local" account). I certainly wasn't expecting a simple download of solitaire to make a change like that, and never downloaded anything from there again.

Mine is the same on both my Windows 7 and my Windows 10 and since these drives are both in the same computer case, I'm using the same monitor. This is omething you can easily change by right clicking anywhere on the desktop and selecting Display Settings.
