That many steps? WindowsKey+Break > Change computer name.

If you’re okay with three steps, on Windows 10 and newer, you can right click the start menu and generally open system. Just about any version supports right clicking “My Computer” or “This PC” and selecting properties, as well.

But that would require effort to learn to do something different. And a lot of users are firmly against that notion.

Just like the new shitty right click menu. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel just because.

And there is no reason not to either. You would still be looking at the cli in Unix with that attitude.
