    What type of tablet?   If the Dell Venue 8 or 11 Pro, the same way:  they are tablet PCs.

    My Dell application basically use your system name. You can try the steps mentioned below and check if it helps.

     

    • Click on PC and devices under PC settings
    • On the left side of PC and devices, click on PC Info
    • Select the Rename button found on the right side under PC section
    • Enter the new name you want for your computer
    • Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

     

    Hope this helps.

    This question is for a tablet, not PC.  I know how to do this on a PC.  How do you do this on a Tablet?

    I would recommend you check on android forums on how to change the system's name as our options are fairly limited. Let me know if you need any other assistance.

    I have the 7840 and it has my full name in the My Dell app. I don't know where it is getting the name from. Did you register the tablet with Dell during initial setup? It might also pull from the "Me" contact at the top of your contacts list in the People app. Try checking there to see if you have a name set.

    Here's how to fix it:

    • Close the "My Dell" app.
    • Open your "Contacts" app.
    • You should see "Me" as a contact.
    • Fill in the information (or as much as you want to fill in.)
    • Wait a few minutes (for it to propogate through the system) and reopen the MyDell app.   It should be updated by then.
