Hi guys, I have a problem to consult with you guys.
can I change the name of my device without causing trouble to Boinc.
I always just left the default device name and am now having trouble working out which device is which laptop.
Thank you for your help.

You can name your devices in Boinc BAM:

Select the host, and click 'edit'.
