How to Change System Product Name in Windows 11

What is the System Product Name?

The System Product Name is how Windows 11 identifies your computer’s model. For custom-built machines, this might show up as a generic ‘System Product Name’. Changing it to something more descriptive makes it easier to manage.

Why Change It?

Personalizing a computer benefits from a custom system product name. Changing this name allows users to assign their PC a cool, unique identifier that reflects personal style. This is also helpful for users with pre-built PCs, letting them assign a name that’s easier to remember.
