    I changed my computer's name. I did not change the serial number. I deleted the old name. now I want to add the new name. microsoft website keeps saying id doesn't recognize the serial number. I'ts the same serial number the comuter had with its old name. Now I have no registered computer. How do I fix this?

  2. Computer Name Change Issue

    I'm setting up a new computer and copying files from the old computer over the network. In the meantime, I decided to change the name of the new computer. The new name appears but with an empty file folder. The old one also still appears but cannot be
    accessed. I thought I could solve the problem by changing the name back to what was originally assigned, but that didn't solve he problem. Any suggestions on how to restore access to this computer on my network?

    Yeah, you can't delete old/retired machines from the "my grid" page. The only option you have really is to wait a few days then change how it sorts the list:

    Oh, and Mike is correct, by changing the windows "computer name" it'll change on the "my grid" page.
