I reinstalled Windows 7 and gave the PC a new name. The "old PC" still shows up under Chrome History.

1) How can I delete the "old PC" ? It's same PC, but Google History still shows the older name and the tabs I had open.

2) How can you change the name of a computer that's signed in to Chrome? When I change the name, Chrome History update it.

EDIT: So regarding question 1. I found the info in this link worked. Is this the only way to accomplish this? It's just silly/stupid that there's no easier way. What if you don't have a mobile device with Chrome?

Still would like an answer to number 2 above please! :)
 
You can try by uninstalling Chrome totally and make sure to clean the registry entries too. Then download the latest version of Chrome and install it, see what happens.

Else you have to format the OS and then have to clean install it, not reinstall. Good luck.
