Hello experts,

I am having some issues on my file explorer. My computer name was suddenly changed to "This PC". I did not change it or make any changes on my computer's settings. I don't know how I can fix it. Aside from this, everything works just fine but I just want to share my issue here. Can anyone help me to fix this issue?

Here’s the error image:

Hi Joseph,

It is very easy to change the name of your computer. Just follow the below steps to give your computer a new name:

  1. Go to Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System > Advanced System Settings
  2. You will get a screen which System Properties
  3. Click on the Change button
  4. Give the computer a new name and click on Ok

You should be able to see the name that you gave instead on This PC in the explorer window.

Changing PC name can be done more efficiently via Command Prompt.

1. Start an elevated Command Prompt.

2. Run the following command into the console:
WMIC computersystem where caption='currentname' rename newname
where ‘currentname’ is the current PC name and ‘newname’ will be the new name. Executing “wmic computersystem where caption='xp-pc' rename windows7-pc” will change the ‘XP-PC’ name to ‘Windows7-PC’.

Thus, your PC name will be changed more efficiently.
