How to rename the computer in Windows 10

Change computer name in Windows 10

If in our house we only have one computer, it is more than likely that when installing our copy of Windows 10 we do not worry at any time about the name that our equipment receives by default, a name that allows us identify it in a much easier way in a network.

However, if in our home or work place we have several computers connected to the same network, and in which we also have shared directories or peripherals, such as printers, it is more than likely that the name of our team has to be something more than just a default name.

For example. If in our home we have a computer in the living room, another at the exit and another in the office, each of the two computers must have a name so that when accessing them it is easier without having to test until hit. In these cases, always it is convenient to change the name of our team. In this way, when we access the computers connected to the same network, it will be much easier to identify it and access its content.
