Resolved Change computer name

How can I change the computer name? I bought the laptop from a indvidual and his name is the name of the computer. I want to change it to a generic name like Owner. Thank you

 

Hi,


It is NOT difficult.

Start -> On the search box type "sydm.cpl" (without quotes) - Enter

On Systme Properties window
-> Computer Name

You can enter Computer description

-> click [Change] tab

start Computer Name/Domain Changes

You got everything there.

Enjoy!!!

Change Your Computer Name in Windows 7 or Vista

Change the Registered Owner in Windows

 

1. Change the Computer Name in Windows 7 by going to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > System > Advanced System Settings (in the left pane) > Computer Name Tab > Change and type the new Computer Name.

2. You may also want to change the name that the computer is registered to, click the Windows Orb (Start), type regedit, press Enter and in the left pane navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion and in the right pane, right-click RegisteredOwner and Modify the value.

You can also change the Registered Organization here. Create a system restore point before changing the registry in case you have ‘finger problems’.

3. Lastly, you should really set up your own user account via Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > User Accounts > Manage another account > Create a new account. Make sure the new account is an administrative account. Once it has been set up and working properly, you can remove any unwanted accounts.
