When you install your PC, Windows 10 automatically assigns a name to your PC. Usually this is in the form” desktop- » followed by a 7-letter string. This is the name that will be visible on your network. If there are several machines, the least we can say is that this designation is not very meaningful. Hence, it is difficult to identify every visible computer on the network. This situation can be annoying to close sharing. Here we will see how to rename your computer on the network.
- Click on to start Then Settings.
- then go to System.
- In the right column, click at the bottom of About.
- Under the device specifications, click the button Rename this computer.
- In the window that just opened, enter the name of your choice in the field and click the button next.
- Click the button Restart now So that the adjustment is taken into account immediately. Otherwise, choose Reboot later.
Note that you are not completely free to choose the name of your choice. You should only use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, hyphens, and numbers. Similarly, even though lowercase letters are recognized, they will be changed to uppercase in your network environment:
As we just saw, changing the name of your computer is very easy 😉
