    Changing the first name that appears in Microsoft services depends on which profile is being updated.

    To change the Microsoft account display name (used across many Microsoft services):

    1. Sign in to the Microsoft account.
    2. Select Edit name.
    3. Change the first name from lishaolei to shaolei.
    4. Select Save.

    It can take up to 24 hours for the updated name to appear everywhere.

    If the name is part of an organizational profile (for example, in Outlook or Microsoft 365 managed by an employer), some profile information such as name or title may be controlled by IT or HR. In that case, contact the organization’s admin or HR department to request the change from lishaolei to shaolei.

    If the name that needs to be changed is specifically on Microsoft Learn (for example, how it appears on public profile, certificates, or transcripts):

    1. Select the profile icon in the top right corner of Microsoft Learn.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. Under Personal info, username, and URL, update the display name to shaolei.
    4. Select Save.

    For legal name issues on certification profiles (for example, exam proctoring), use the dedicated credentials support channel referenced in the context.
