HP Desktop 24-g062a
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Good afternoon.

My computer is:  HP Desktop  Model 24-g062a. Running Windows 10.

I would like to rename my computer. 

I follow the procedure (Settings - System - About) but "Rename this PC" is greyed out and does not respond to a click.

How can I make the "Rename this PC" link active?

Hope someone can help.

  Bob.
