Windows 10: PC Name not retained during MDT Windows 10 Install

Hello everyone At the moment I'm deploying a new Windows Image at my ORGs site and I'm using MDT. We're going from Windows 10 1903 to 20H2. I've captured a generalized WIM image through MDT and when deployed with MDT all works fine, it joins the correct OU and all, but the problem is the pc name specified in "computer details" at the start of the MDT wizard is not being applied to the machine instead it just gives the pc DESKTOP-XXXXX instead. I'm completely stumped everything should be working fine. Thanks.

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
