Want to change the default computer name?
If you have bought a new computer and want to change its
name, or for any other reason, here’s how you do it on
Windows 11.

It’s important to assign a unique
name to your PC, especially if it’s connected to a
network. This makes it easier to find your PC on a
network with several other machines.
Follow the below steps to change the computer name in
Windows 11 :
-
Open the Start
menu ,
on the task bar, click on the Start button

-
Click on the Settings (gear)
button on the right side of the Start menu

-
From the System menu, scroll to the
bottom of the options and click on About on
the right side

-
Click
on Rename
this PC on
the right side

-
Type in a new name you want for your PC, and
click on Next

-
Click on Restart
now to
restart your PC and apply the new PC name

-
When your PC restarts, it will
be using the newly specified name. You can confirm
this by heading into Settings >
System. At the top
of the “System” page, you’ll see your PC’s new name.

Now that you have changed the default computer name,
you will notice a Rename Button
under the new computer name , this will open for you
the window in step 5, where you can quickly change
the computer name again if required anytime later i
n the future.
