What\u2019s your computer\u2019s name? Is it something you chose or something the computer manufacturer chose? Whatever your computer name is, remember that computer names are an important part of networking and can make it easier for people to use and manage computers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naming a computer makes it easier for people to remember and refer to a computer. Instead of trying to remember a long string of numbers or letters or some obscure manufacturer’s name, people can give their computers a name. And some people like to give their computers names that reflect their personality or interests. This can make the computer feel more personal. So instead of DELL0x16B, you might want to name your computer Strawberry-Fields or JenkinsFarms \u2013 something that means something to you \u2013 and something you can remember.<\/span><\/p>\n

Computer names can be important for networking too, for instance when you are connecting to a shared folder on a network, you will need to know the name of the computer on which that folder is located. If you\u2019re using a remote desktop application, you will need to know the computer name you want to connect to.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many reasons why computers have names and we\u2019re going to show you how easy it is to change your computer\u2019s name to whatever you want it to be, whether you\u2019re using Windows 10 or Windows 11.<\/span><\/p>\n
