  1. reverting computer name


    Im no where near tech Savvy!!!! that being stated, i just got an Asus Laptop- its touch screen, and folds all the way back. I don't know what my model is, or anything, i looked up how to change it, don't remember how i done it or got to it, but i some how changed my computer name to a shorter version of my name, and didn't even think to write down the original name, or how I done it. I didn't tell any one either. so I'm asking the internet. is there ANY way I can get my old computer name back to help me find the version/model of computer i have, so

    :)

    Hi,

    We need to ask you the following questions to help you resolve your issue:

    • What is the make and model of the device you are using?
    • Have you recently made an update on your Windows version?
    • Are you having troubles signing in to your computer or the name just reverts to the old one but still lets you sign in?
    • What other troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    We will be waiting for you response.
