You can determine the name of the computer by a special command. To do this, we go to the "Start", we find the item to "execute" (also with the help of a win + r wobbing) or call the command line. We enter "MSINFO32" in them and confirm the execution of the ENTER. In the window that appears, we find the name of the computer, as shown in the screenshot. Similar feature execute "HostName" or "IPCONFIG / ALL" in the console.

Another way: click right-click on the My Computer icon, select "Properties" in the context menu. The same actions using hot keys - "Win + Pause". The "System" window opens the control panel, in which we can not only see the name of the PC and the working group, but also change it. To do this, click on the icon to "change parameters" on the right. In the window that appears, we click to change again. Next, enter the desired name of the machine and confirm the "OK" button. Windows allowed to use for this purpose only letters, numbers and dash, no other special characters. If the selected name cannot be applied, the system will show a warning.

Some programs are also able to show the name of the PC. Let us give an example Siw or a better AIDA64. The latter is free with home use for 30 days. By installing it without problems, run your version and go to the "Computer" section -\u003e "Computer Name" section. In addition, Aida has a mass of useful functions that will be useful in the future. But ShowIpadress knows how to define the name of the computer even using the IP or site name.

What else can you learn about the computer with AIDA? For example, we will be able to get the most complete data on components, installed programs, settings, networks, connected devices, the overall state of the system. Also, the program makes it possible to run different tests for diagnosing processor, hard drives, memory, a stress test showing the stability of the PC. Aida can track the temperature of the equipment sensors, in real time showing the user information about possible overheating. The program is able to independently conduct a magazine to record reports, identify licenses, interact with antivirus, store the history of visited Internet pages, show applications listed in autoload.
All settings created in this way will take effect after rebooting. For Windows 7, 8, XP, the sequence of actions is almost the same and is unlikely to be switched in the following versions. If you still have any questions, see a simple, but very informative video about how to change the name of the computer.
