Name Your Notebook

If you plan to include your notebook on a network, your notebook must have a unique name. On the “What’s your computer’s name?” page, you can retain the default name shown in the Computer name box or designate another name.

For example, you may want to base your notebook name on your name or a location, such as “Familyroom.” In order for your notebook name to be displayed on a network, the name

Must not be longer than 15 characters.

Must include only numerals (0-9), letters (A-Z and a-z), and hyphens.

Cannot include spaces.

You can also enter a description of your notebook in the Computer Description box. The description can contain spaces and special characters. For example, you could describe your notebook as “David’s game machine.”
