My wife's 21 1/2 inch iMac desktop's hard drive crashed so we bought her a 24" M1 Chip iMac. The bluetooth and Network WINS still displays "21-5" mac. How do I update it?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
Hello Van-D,
We see you have an issue with the iMac's displayed name, and we'd be happy to help.
Have you been able to try adjusting the Mac's name in System Preferences > Sharing?
This page also has steps on how to change the Mac's name, or local hostname:
Change your computer’s name or local hostname on Mac
You may also find some additional settings in System Preferences > Network > Advanced.
Cheers.

Sharing in System Preferences nailed the issue. I fixed the name so it coincides. I've since upgraded another mac and headed off the same issue. Thank you!
Bluetooth and Network display the name of the prior iMac
