ORBI30 Ethernet connect doesn't show on new computer

I have a local ethernet switch with my old Windows 10 computer connected to network "ORBI30." So I connected another Windows 10 PC to the same switch, but it shows that's its connected to "Network 2." How do I get the new computer to connect to ORBI30? Thanks for any help!

    The names aren't coming from the switch. They're coming from the windows active directory and windows names them. 

    You can change that but it means modifying your registry and you won't find instructions on here as it can cause issues on the machine.
