When you first set up your Windows 11 computer, Windows saves the owner’s name and organization in its system settings. Usually, it uses your account name or email address as the owner, and leaves the organization blank.

Sometimes, programs on your PC might show this owner information, so it’s good to make sure it’s correct. If you want to change the owner or organization name, here’s an easy way to do it.

Step-by-Step: Change Owner and Organization Name

Important: Changing these settings involves editing the Windows Registry. Be careful and follow the steps exactly. It’s a good idea to back up your registry before you start.

1. Open the Registry Editor:
   • Click the Start button or press the Windows key.
   • Type regedit and press Enter.
   • If a security box pops up, click Yes.
2. Go to this folder inside the Registry Editor:
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
   
3. Find the owner and organization names:
   • In the right-hand pane, look for RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization.
   • If you don’t see RegisteredOrganization, right-click on an empty space on the right, choose New → String Value, and name it RegisteredOrganization.
   • Do the same for RegisteredOwner if it’s missing.
4. Change the names:
   • Double-click on RegisteredOwner, enter the new owner name you want, and click OK.
   • Double-click on RegisteredOrganization, enter the organization name or leave it blank, then click OK.
5. Close the Registry Editor.
6. Check your changes:
   • Press Windows + R to open the Run box.
   • Type winver and press Enter.
   • A window will pop up showing the Windows version along with the registered owner and organization names.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully changed the registered owner and organization names on your Windows 11 PC.
