  1. Changing computer name


    Hello I recently purchased a new hp laptop computer for my business. My coworker set up the computer not knowing what i needed computer name to be and also logged into Microsoft through it. My question is do i need to return computer to factory to change the computer and directory of computer name to something else or is there a way to change everything.

    :)
