Rename Your Device for Better Security Windows

When you rename your device for better security Windows 11 makes it easy to update your computer’s network identity. Out of the box, your operating system often assigns a generic name that might include your PC’s manufacturer, model, or even your personal name. When you connect to a public Wi-Fi network at a cafe or airport, your computer broadcasts this name to the local network router and potentially to other connected users. Because this identifier is visible to other devices on your local network, updating it to something less descriptive helps obscure your hardware from potential threats. A custom, secure name also makes it significantly easier to manage multiple machines linked to your Microsoft account.

Open Settings, go to System, select About, and click Rename your PC to enter a new name.
You will need to restart your computer for the new network identity to fully apply across the operating system.
Verify your updated computer name under View your PC name to confirm the change was successful.
