Windows never asks you about who you want as the computer’s registered owner during the initial setup.

That’s because Windows wants to streamline the process.

Instead of asking you, it pulls the information from your linked Microsoft account.

Next, double-choose the string namedRegisteredOrganizationand enter the name of your organization in theValue datafield.

Right-click in the white space in the right pane and selectNew > String value, name itRegisteredOwner.

When you’re done, reset your system.

When the computer restarts, see if the changes took place.
