How To Change Computer Name In Windows 11 [Tutorial]

Don't like the randomly generated name Windows 11 gives your PC after a clean install? Here's how to change it.

Did you know that you can give your PC a name? Windows 11 includes a small feature that can help identify your PC by giving it whatever name you’d like, which is especially helpful when you’re trying to manage a number of PCs and need to know which PC is which.

Windows 11 has a lot of great things going for it, but one feature that deserves a big thumbs-down is the randomly generated name it gives your PC during a clean install. Instead of letting you name your computer something memorable, Windows 11 tags it with a name that begins “DESKTOP” followed by a string of numbers and letters. And yes, it will even do this for a laptop, too!
