Самый простой способ узнать имя компьютера — это открыть окно «Свойства системы» и посмотреть там.
Добраться до этого окна можно с помощью горячих клавиш «Win+Pause/Break», либо через контекстное меню (правая клавиша мышки) значка компьютера на рабочем столе («Этот компьютер»), выбрав пункт меню «Свойства».
Более экзотический способ для обычного пользователя — это вызвать встроенное приложение «Сведения о системе» через панель поиска: либо нажать горячие клавиши «Win + S» и набрать в открывшейся панели команду «msinfo32», либо щелкнуть левой клавишей мышки на значке лупы на панели задач и ввести ту же команду в той же панели. В окне «Сведения о системе» имя компьютера будет «скрываться» под псевдонимом «Имя системы».
