Find the Name of my Computer

Anonymous

When I try to find my computer name as instructed, I get into Control Panel, but I cannot find System and Security > System. Where did Microsoft hide my computer name, and how can I find the computer name reliably USING ONLY THE KEYBOARD - NO MOUSE? I am totally blind, and I am a bit annoyed when I do not find the EXACT item specified in Microsoft's instruction for locating the computer name. When I bring up File Explorer, I cannot find COMPUTER using ONLY the keyboard. I will appreciate help on this one.

    Hello, how are you?

    My name is Paloma B., I am very happy to be able to try to help you in the best possible way.

    This is an open community, whenever you need you can share the problem so that possible repairs are suggested.

    I understand that you would like to verify the correct name of your computer.

    1. Press Windows+I to access Windows settings;
    2. Go to System -> About;
    3. You will see the device name.

    This is your computer name.

    Another option is through the Command Prompt.

    1. Press Windows+R, type cmd and click ok;
    2. Type the command below and press Enter:

    hostname

    The command will return your computer name.
