I want to use a different username when I install Windows 10 then what is used on my Mac. Why can't I get this to work? That other VM company allows me to do this.
Hello AaronD6, To change the virtual machine name please follow below mentioned steps 1. Do one of the following: Click the Parallels icon in the menu bar and choose Configure. If the Parallels Desktop menu bar is visible at the top of the screen, choose Actions > Configure. 2. Click General and type a new name in the Name field. Thanks.
Running 17.1.2 on MacOS 11.6.5 On my Mac, I do not see any option for Configure. On the top of the screen menu bar, there isn't an Actions either. There is a Preferences, which I have scrubbed and not found any of the items that you mention. Even with installing a new VM. Nothing there that would allow a user to configure Name. Actually the only place is in the VM configuration where is says Name but that is the Name of the VM not a username.
An adding to this so perhaps others will see it again and know how to do it (if indeed there is a way). And to be clear, it's not the name of the virtual machine -- it is the user name, as in C:\Users\MyUsername. I could just make a second user -- and an admin, at that -- on this VM, but I'd kind of like to avoid it.
