In IBM tech just installed a new motherboard to my Lenovo Legion laptop. This was to deal with a USB-A ports problem. The repair seems to have worked fine. However, when I did a quick check to see if Windows was still activated properly (it was) I see in Settings > Home that the my PC name is considered 'Invalid'. The name I had, and which I want to keep using is LEGION
I tried (temporarily) renaming to LEGION2 but on reboot this too was said to be Invalid. So I renamed back to LEGION. Which, once again, after reboot was said to be Invalid.
Cutting a long story short, and following advice on the internet, I did the following:

1) Ran
[CODE]dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth[/CODE] This completed successfully.2) I then did an SFC /SCANNOW This also completed with no problems.Then using Powershell as administrator I changed the name a couple of times between LEGION and LEGION2 — all without success, the name is still reported as Invalid. So now I've changed the name back to LEGION, still marked as Invalid, and now I'm stuck.Does anyone know how I can cure this problem?P.S. I should say that as far as I can see the system seems to be running fine. I would also note that I am an administrator on this machine and seems to be running fine from that point of view too.- Windows Build/Version
