    Hi Zeb

    There have been some changes made.

    I would recommend that you ask this question on the TechNet forums. This is where Microsoft supports the Enterprise versions.

    Computer Name in System

    Hi there. That's the name Windows gives it to record in your account. If you want to change it open Settings > System > About.

    I never have and never needed the old name/number. You may want to if you like.

    Just to be sure > You can view all your devices in your MS account > Devices tab. It will change there also.
