If you’ve ever bought a new computer with Windows already installed, you might be annoyed by the default name of your PC. Or maybe you’re just ready for a change.
Changing your computers name involves paying a visit to the System Properties window.
Follow these steps:
In the windows search box, type in sysdm.cpl and press enter or select it
In the System Properties window, on the Computer Name tab, select the Change button
In the Computer Name/Domain Changes window, type the new name for your PC into the Computer name box. Please note there can be a limit of 15 characters.
When you are done, click OK
Windows will now need to restart, so save any files you have open, and then click OK
Once Windows restarts, your PC will have its new name
