i have a new Mac Studio M1. when i first turned it on, i gave it my name and the same password. Now the device is showing up as "(My Name)'s Power Mac G5 (2).
Is there a way that i can change the name of that to my 2022 Mac Studio?
I tried to go into
Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sharing to edit it there (after unlocking and then locking) and it would not save the new name.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.
Mac Studio, macOS 12.4
UPDATE: i tried the third time and it took. i did a restart, the name change is still there.
But when i come to this forum to check (i go to "ask a question" and then scroll down to choose "which device" on this webpage, it's still showing as "(My Name)'s Power Mac G5 (2). is there a way to change it here as well?

it is now the new name that i wanted.
I went on your site to check to see if it changed on here, and it did.
This case is now solved.

Now if there was only a way to delete this entire question and thread. Maybe somebody can tell me how to?
