Windows 10/PC name vs Computer name
What is the difference between the computer name and PC name in Windows 10. In windows 10 these settings are different and I’m trying to set up a few Windows VM’s but I want to ensure proper naming convention. Thanks.

In my opinion, the PC name and computer name you mentioned should be the same thing. You could refer to this thread: Difference between NETBIOS, host name and computer name?
