Out of the box, Windows 11 gives your computer a randomly-generated name that's a mash-up of letters, numbers and hyphens. Having a unique and memorable name is especially important if you need to find your specific computer on a shared network, such as a home or school network. Thankfully, changing your Windows 11 computer name can be done fairly quickly.
Now let's walk through the steps to change your Windows 11 computer name.
Step 1. Navigate to your Windows 11 home screen, and then press the "Windows" and "I" keys at the same time. The Windows Settings screen will be displayed.
Step 2. Click "System" in the menu on the left side of the screen. System options will be shown on the right side of the screen.
Step 3. Scroll down to the bottom of this menu, and then click "About." The About screen is shown. You'll see your Windows 11 computer's name shown at the top of this screen.
Step 4. Click the "Rename This PC" button next to the current name of your computer. A Rename Your PC window pops up, with a message letting you know that you can use a combination of letters, hyphens and numbers as your new Windows 11 computer name.
Step 5. Enter what you want to be your new Windows 11 PC name, and then click "Next." You'll be prompted to restart your computer. After your computer restarts, your Windows 11 computer's name will be fully changed.
