Can't change the name of my M4 Mac mini
I have a new M4 Mac Mini. I restored my data from a time capsule. Now my Mac Mini's name is the same as the old computer. I can't seem to change it. How do I do it?

System Settings -> General -> About. The name field is editable and you can delete the old name and create a new name for this mac.
