Solved Computer identified with wrong name

[Retiredbill]

When I upgraded to Win 7, my first computer was made by Gateway. After 4 failures, I decided to junk it and purchased another desktop. I made the mistake of dowloading the most recent backup image in hopes of avoiding the reinstall of the software apps. This was a mistake and I had to reformat and load the new Win 7 O/S. My new machine is a Micro Express and they supply a CD with the O/S on it. Everything works OK but if I go to "Computer Management", it identifies the computer as a Gateway. Is there anyway to change the listing to Micro Express. I contacted Micro Express and they said that there was no way to change that. Any suggestions? I know this is not a major or serious problem only an annoyance.

To Danny. I'm attaching a screenshot of the mislabel.

To Jaycee; That;s not the place where the wrong label is located. Go to "Computer Management" and you'll see the name I'm talking about.
