How to change the computer name in Windows 7

Rename computer in Windows 7

Computers are one of the smart devices of today that has many important uses. Computers are widely used for work in anything from building a working machine to a smart project like a demo or simulation. There are different types of computers and the most widely used is probably Windows because it is easy to understand and has many options that are shared by teachers in schools and internet users. Every computer has to have a name and a use to prove it is its own computer, there are many uses for the name and probably not many people know more.

The name on the computer can also appear on the host name on the WiFi network. So if someone wants to know who is using the WiFi network, the set computer name will be displayed on both a laptop device. Compared to smartphones almost the same usage on iPhone and Windows Phone devices that can set the phone name In this case, if Android still lacks the ability to set the device name and is still using some kind of hash code, then such a method may be used in the future to find out who the original device owner is.

If you still do not know the current computer name, please click START, then right click on the Computer menu and then click Properties. Then a new page will appear and make sure that the Computer Name section is the current computer name. Usually sometimes the name comes straight from the store, when you buy a computer the installation is done directly from the store, but it is different if you do the installation process yourself, you can definitely use your own name, and for that, here I share the procedure for changing the computer name, and it is only for Windows 7. Here is the procedure, see below.

  1. Please turn on the computer first and click on START and enter sysdm.cpl then press ENTER.

  2. Then a small popup will appear, please click on the button Change in the section “Rename this computer …”

    Simply rename the computer in Windows 7

  3. Next, a popup appears again in the Computer name Please enter the name of the computer you want to replace. and for below please select only WORKGROUP. And when you’re done, just hit the button OK

    Simply rename the computer in Windows 7

  4. Now a small pop-up notification will appear asking the user to restart the PC, please click the button OK and close all windows / tabs available, then restart the PC. After that, the name of the commuter must have changed to a new one

There are no side effects from renaming the computer as it is like renaming ordinary files. The above method is very safe and me Use the sysdm.cpl method so that you can quickly get to the pop-up / tab for changing the computer name and users don’t have to go to complicated settings or menus. Please also note that computer names and computer IDs are different things and the above method is only for changing a name, not an ID.

Now users don’t have to be confused about changing the computer name as they can do it easily and quickly. So, if you are going to buy a new and installed computer from the store, you can change the owner’s name as described above. Most Computer names end in “PC” and it can also be left out, but in my opinion it should be given the ending PC so that I still know which computer name is and which is not. Because changing the computer name affects everything that exists, e.g. B. on the name of the folder and changing the previous name to the new one. If you have anything to ask, please comment.

Hopefully useful and good luck
