ComputerNameChange

During the steps of a Windows installation you’re asked to provide a name for your computer, and this is especially handy for identifying them across a network. This name can be changed through default features, but it can be a lengthy task. Alternatives come in the form of third-party applications like ComputerNameChange which solve the process in an easy step.

Can be used on the go

One of the main advantages here is the lack of a setup process. It’s an advantage because it helps change the name of multiple computers by simply running the program from a thumb drive, without having to invest any time or effort in a setup process to make things work. Although it also modifies registry entries, these are only related to name, so no damage is done.
Found in a pretty compact window, the set of features doesn’t pose any accommodation problems, regardless of experience. There’s enough room to hold the edit field, buttons, and even a neat description to perfectly explain the whole process. Even buttons are fitted with intuitive tags.

Instant update of PC name

The computer name is detected and displayed in an editable field as soon as the window shows up on screen. Needless to say that you can go ahead and modify in on the spot. There are a few functions to use after writing the name, which are to simply apply the change, apply and shut down, or apply and restart.
Additionally, there’s an option to copy the program to the system32 folder for more comfort. Although the application is flexible enough and helps modify names on more computers fast, it would have been useful to see an option to change names across an entire network.

To end with

In conclusion, ComputerNameChange does manage to provide a faster way of changing the name of your computer. Portability adds a lot to flexibility, while options make it possible to restart or shut down the computer so no issues occur after changing the name.
