True Image 2021 Rename Computer

Thread needs solution

I am currently backing up a computer having a "-2" designation at the end, such as COMPUTER-2

IF it becomes necessary to change the computer name to simply COMPUTER (or any other name), what steps should I take, and in what order, to accomplish this?

Thank you,
Grumpy Old Guy

Steve, sorry but not sure as to the relevance of your question to using ATI 2021 here?

When you create any PC backup then you can either accept the default name given by ATI or else you can change the name to whatever you want to use.  It is best to do the rename before any backup files are created by deleting the default name shown and typing the name you want to use.

The backup image itself, if of 'Entire PC' or of Disks & Partitions for the OS boot disk drive, will contain the name of the PC as at the date / time the backup was created, so if it was COMPUTER-2, that is the name held within the backup image.

Renaming your PC is done within the Windows settings, totally outside of any involvement by ATI 2021.
