Windows 10 Tutorial: Change PC name
Changing the name of your Windows 10 PC is not only for personalization but also for convenience. We live in an age where we use multiple devices including a combination of desktop, laptop, tablet and phone. If we don't keep these devices organized, it soon becomes difficult to inventory them and use additional features.
On Windows 10, for example, most users now use a Microsoft account to sign in. This type of account not only lets you sign in to multiple devices with the same credentials, but also helps you organize your inventory and access other benefits, such as features to find your device and the ability to reactivate Windows 10 after a hardware change. If you don't rename your Windows 10 PC accordingly, it will be harder to take advantage of these features.
In addition, a name can help you identify your computer if you have multiple devices connected to the local network. With a descriptive name, it is easier to connect to other devices in the house or even configure your router to allow or deny access to the Internet.
