How can I change the name of my computer that I assigned to Setup?

I just did a system recovery and have an external hard drive to backup and realized I should have renamed the computer reconfigured slightly differently so I have separated on the external hard drive backups.

As it sounds, as there is no involvement of the field...

Use the computer name tab in the System Properties dialog box. To find this tab, use one of the following methods:

  • Click Start, right-click my computer, and then click Properties.
  • Click Start, click run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
  • Click Start, click Control Panel, double-click performance and Maintenanceand then click System.

Change the name of the computer

To change a computer name, follow these steps (in light of the foregoing...):

  1. Click the computer name tab, and then click change.
  2. Type the new computer name in the computer name dialog box.
  3. Click OK three times, and then restart the computer.
