How To Find Your Computer’s Name in Windows Xp and Windows 7

I graduated in June 2013 with a bachelors in Information Technology: Systems Analysis. I currently work at a medical center where I am their database and systems administrator. Some current games that I play are Diablo 3, Never Winter, Path of Exile, League of Legends (not as often as I would like), Star Craft, and the sims.
