    Hi Saswat

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Rest assured, that is perfectly normal, Windows installations will always rename the PC/Laptop to a new name, on a Dell its DESKTOP- and a Misc. string, that is just an auto generated PC name and will have no affect on your PC or windows, you can if you wish change the name.

    Click your Start Button, then just type advanced system and open Advanced System Settings from the resulting list

    On the resulting utility, on the Computer Name tab, click Change and you can enter your preferred name for your laptop.
