    On my win 8.1 computer I found THIS PC and it seems to act the same as MY COMPUTER. Are the the same thing?
    If not was is different about them?

    Yes, "This PC" is the same thing. Right click on "This PC" icon. Choose "rename", rename My Computer. There you go.
    I believe MS did this to distinguish between files stored locally on a drive and those stored in the cloud, in particular SkyDrive, which gets additional integration with the OS with Windows 8.1.
