If it's via a logged in Microsoft account, log into MS via your browser (hotmail or Xbox or another MS service) and go to your settings, and change the name

Hello Yestle, and welcome to Eight Forums.
Yes, the tutorial below can help show you how to change your user account's name. You would just need to use the option for what type (local or Microsoft) the account it is.
