When you sign in to Windows 11/10, it displays your full name adjacent to your account picture on the Start Screen. If the name is the same as the one you are using for your Microsoft Account in Windows, the chances of changing the name become less as the name synchronizes with the settings for your account on microsoft.com. But you can, if you wish, change your stored Microsoft account in Windows Store. It is not as difficult as the former, and you can easily do the needful.
