These machine comes with a default windows 11/10 but there is a software that comes with it, that you can see it under START UP services. I forgot the name but please make sure you reinstall windows.

This is my first time looking into this type of unit. What do you mean do a clean Windows reinstall? Will i have to buy a windows 11 or 10 program or is there a windows key included?
Microsoft makes its Windows installers widely available for everyone to download and install. Google Windows USB Media Creation Tool and it will link you to the Microsoft site to get it.
If you hand built a custom PC, the Windows activation servers will not recognize that specific hardware profile and prompt you to enter a valid product key as it wasn't not an OEM product where the manufacturer had licensed the Windows installation.
It is not exactly a specific numeric product key per se. It is composed of the manufacturer's hardware profile that the Windows activation servers recognize. So if you drastically upgrade the components of your OEM PC it may fail the activation server's query some day.
Once your Windows installation has been activated, the Windows activation servers has a snapshot of your system's components for a "profile". So from there on, anytime you re-install Windows it is glad to see you again and activate your freshly installed Windows OS.
Without knowing if your custom built PC motherboard's manufacturer has purchased a Windows license, probably both system's hardware profile was similar enough to "fool" the Windows activation server. Perhaps you re-used the same gaming card on both rigs?
As to the naming of the PC, you probably named the PC the same name during the Windows installation and was not aware of it. When Windows self installs, it usually just gives it a random alpha-numeric ID and that you can change later via Computer Properties. It never gives it a specific computer name. Naming is for humans to identify, computers can care less, you are just a MAC address, an IP address, and a unique hardware profile token.

My recommendation: continually search the Amazon warehouse for similarly priced PC NUC's, or check Ebay. I call this a NON-DEAL!
yeah. my call is to keep searching goodwill stores or even your next door trash can. you can get cheaper stuff that way. used btw. not brand new like this.

I never said anything about Goodwill or trash cans, way to debate using straw man. Where is your hardware expertise, I don't see any being displayed!
