    After the Windows side of my computer became unusable a few weeks ago, a Level 2 tech from Parallels created a new VM for me.

    The "new" Windows 10 computer shows in the Finder and Windows File Explorer as "SHEILAMARTIN9DCB."

    Can I safely rename the computer, using Control Panels in Windows 10 ? Or will that cause me more grief?

    Thanks.

    Thanks very much, Sylvester.

    Also, can I safely delete the Win10 ISO Disk Image file? (It's over 3 GB.)
