If you need to rename a computer running the Windows 10 operating system and/or make it a member of a Windows domain, you can take the following steps. To see the system's current name, you can press the Windows key and the Pause/Break key on the keyboard simultaneously. Alternatively, you can type
about in the "Type here to search" field at the
bottom, left-hand side of the screen and then select the About your
PC entry which is returned from the search. You can also type this
pc in the "Type here to search" field at the bottom, left-hand side of
the screen and then select the This PC app when you see it listed.
For any of the three above options, you will then see an About
window that lists "Device name," which is the system's current name.
If you just need to rename the PC, click on Rename this PC.
If you need to both rename the PC and join a Windows domain, then
instead of clicking on Rename this PC, scroll downards in
the About window until you see "Rename this PC (advanced)"
and click on it.
