How to change registered owner and organization name in Windows 11
Because Windows 11 doesn’t prompt you for owner and organization information during setup, your computer will show the registered owner as account name and organization name like Organization Name. If you’re using a Microsoft account, your registered owner name will show your email ID by default. Thankfully, you can edit the registered owner and organization name on Windows if you have administrator rights.
Modifying registry files on Windows is risky. Some changes may cause irreparable damage to your Windows PC. Therefore, it is important to proceed with caution. We recommend that you backup all registry files or create a restore point before proceeding with the changes below.
Then follow these steps to change the registered owner and organization name on your Windows 11 PC.
Step 1: Click the zoom icon on the Taskbar to open the search menu. Type registry editor in the box and select Run as administrator from the results.
Step 2: Select Yes when the User Account Control (UAC) prompt appears.
Step 3: In the Registry Editor window, paste the following path in the address bar at the top and press Enter. This will take you to the CurrentVersion key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Step 4: In the right pane, double-click the string value named RegisteredOwner.
If you can’t find it, right click on the CurrentVersion key, go to New, and select String Value from the submenu. Name it RegisteredOwner.
Step 5: In the Value data field, enter the name you want to appear as the registered owner. Then, click OK.
Step 6: Next, double-click the RegisteredOrganization string value from the same section to edit it.
Again, if the RegisteredOrganization string value is missing, you can create it yourself. For that, right click on the CurrentVersion key, go to New and select String Value. Name it RegisteredOrganization.
Step 7: Enter the name you want to display in the Value data field and press OK.
And that’s about it. Once you complete the steps above, the change in registered owner and organization name will reflect immediately.
