How to Find the Computer Name on Windows 10 [Tutorial]
If you are using Windows 10 and you want to see your computer's name, one of the fastest ways to do it is to use the search. In the search field from the taskbar, type the words "pc name." When the search results are displayed, click or tap on "View your PC name."
PCs on a network need unique names so they can identify and communicate with each other. If two PCs have the same name on the same network, it creates a conflict for network communications. Most PCs come with default names, but you can usually change them. It's best to keep PC names short (fifteen characters or less) and easily recognizable.
It is recommend that you use only Internet-standard characters in the PC name. The standard characters are the numbers 0 through 9, uppercase and lowercase letters from A through Z, and the hyphen (-) character. PC names cannot consist entirely of numbers, nor can they contain spaces.
