clean django install, runserver, traceback

Question

Been following a Python specialization on Coarsera and figured I'd try something out on my own! First thing I run into before I even began was this:

C:\Users\kurts\Python>django-admin startproject Kurtain

C:\Users\kurts\Python>cd kurtain

C:\Users\kurts\Python\Kurtain>manage.py runserver
Performing system checks...

System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

You have 14 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations for app(s): admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions.
Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

    hostname, aliases, ipaddrs = gethostbyaddr(name)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xf6 in position 1: invalid start byte

Reading other questions from around here I figured something was missing from the installed files...? But even after a reinstall of django it's the same errors!

I run on windows10, python3.6 and django2.0.2

You did not apply migrations, so you need to run 'python manage.py migrate'. System writes to you about it.

The above answer while correct, was not the sollution. I was following a guide on the django site, and it told me about the migrations and that we would take care of that in a later chapter.

However I managed to solve this by changing my computer name, it contained a non utf8 character(Im swedish and was using 'ö').

clean django install, runserver, traceback
