if one shares VC config cross multiple PCs (I use onedrive to sync it across 2 PCs), one might need to do things based on which PC VC is running on. Example: setting the microphone to listen to, or if the PCs are in different rooms, commands like "Lights On" will mean to turn different lights on ...etc.
here is a very simple and easy command to capture the PC name in a variable.

update: the command has been revised to store as well the current user name ...  on XP requires service pack 2, and I kept the original as disabled for reference

here's another method but using python instead
