Hi, reference has been made to the computer name which is inserted in the Windows OS. I noticed when uploading or downloading one site showed my computer name so this is detectable. You can change the name BUT each Windows software has a number which is either a manufacturing OEM number or a user specific number to recognise the individual user and prevent software piracy. This number cant be changed.
I posted a thread on Windows v Linux OS, Linux being a free OS download, an alternative to using Windows. Actually its pre-installed in Toys r Us laptops so must be pretty user friendly
