Windows 10/PC name vs Computer name












0















What is the difference between the computer name and PC name in Windows 10. In windows 10 these settings are different and I’m trying to set up a few Windows VM’s but I want to ensure proper naming convention. Thanks.

  • In my opinion, the PC name and computer name you mentioned should be the same thing. You could refer to this thread: Difference between NETBIOS, host name and computer name?
