change name of computer

How can I change th name of my computer? I've tried the Sharing folder in System Preferences however that doesn't work.


I change the computer name but there isn't a tab to save the change.


Thanks,



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

I have no idea what you mean by a computer name in the upper, right corner.

The logged in user may show up there if you have Fast User Switching enabled in Users & Groups system preferences, Login Options.
