Pick the part that matches your computer.\n\n---\n\n## For Windows 10 / Windows 11\n\n1.

These focus on keyboard navigation and how JAWS will announce what you need.\n\n---\n\n## What to know up front\n\n- JAWS works with Windows Settings and other system dialogs, reading out window titles, labels, buttons, and values when focused. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows/use-a-screen-reader-to-explore-and-navigate-settings-in-windows?utm_source=openai))  \n- Using search and keyboard shortcuts is usually the fastest way to get to the \u201cAbout\u201d screen where your device name is shown. ([guidingtech.com](https://www.guidingtech.com/find-the-name-of-computer-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How to find the computer name using JAWS and Windows\n\nHere are several methods. Try the one that\u2019s easiest for you:\n\n---\n\n### Method 1: \u201cAbout\u201d page via Settings\n\n1. Press **Windows key + I** to open **Settings**. JAWS will say something like \u201cSettings window, search box, find a setting.\u201d ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows/use-a-screen-reader-to-explore-and-navigate-settings-in-windows?utm_source=openai))  \n2. If you hear \u201cSearch box,\u201d press **Tab** to move to the navigation panel.  \n3. Use **Down arrow** until you land on **System**, then press **Enter**.  \n4. Once in System, press **Tab** to move through sections. You want to get to **About**.  \n5. Press **Enter** on About. JAWS should announce something like \u201cAbout \u2014 Device name\u201d or \u201cDevice name:\u201d followed by your laptop\u2019s name. ([guidingtech.com](https://www.guidingtech.com/find-the-name-of-computer-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Method 2: Search the \"PC name\" from Start\n\n1. Press **Windows key** to open Start.  \n2. Start typing \u201cPC name\u201d. JAWS will announce \u201cSearch box, find a setting,\u201d and as you type, possible matches will be read out. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows/use-a-screen-reader-to-explore-and-navigate-settings-in-windows?utm_source=openai))  \n3. In the search results, arrow down until you hear \u201cView your PC name,\u201d then press **Enter**.  \n4. You\u2019ll land on the About page where JAWS reads out \u201cDevice name: [your computer\u2019s name]\u201d. ([guidingtech.com](https://www.guidingtech.com/find-the-name-of-computer-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Method 3: Keyboard shortcut (if you have the Pause/Break key)\n\n1. Press **Windows key + Pause/Break** together.  \n2. Immediately, a window (System or About) opens. JAWS will read out various system specs.  \n3. Look for **Device name**. JAWS will announce your computer\u2019s name there. ([guidingtech.com](https://www.guidingtech.com/find-the-name-of-computer-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Method 4: Using Command Prompt or PowerShell\n\n1. Press **Windows key + X**, then press **C** (or use arrows to pick *Command Prompt* or *Windows Terminal*).  \n2. Once the prompt window is open, type `hostname` and press **Enter**.  \n3. JAWS reads out the output. The result is your computer name. ([guidingtech.com](https://www.guidingtech.com/find-the-name-of-computer-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Tips for working smoothly with JAWS\n\n- Slowly move through menus because JAWS announces the focused element\u2019s label.  \n- You can press **Insert + Up arrow** (or Caps Lock + Up arrow if that\u2019s your JAWS key setup) to have JAWS read the current line.  \n- If you accidentally move too far, **Shift + Tab** helps go back.  \n- To explore headings, sometimes pressing **H** will cycle through headings, if the Settings window is marked up that way. That might help get from \u201cSystem\u201d to \u201cAbout.\u201d ([bbc.github.io](https://bbc.github.io/accessibility-news-and-you/assistive-technology/testing-steps/jaws-windows.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me whether your laptop is using Windows 10 or Windows 11, I can give you more precise steps (since the menus are slightly different in each version)."
