Introduction

In this article, we will learn to rename a Bluetooth Device on Windows 10. Whenever we want to pair a Bluetooth device on Windows 10, it always comes with a default name. For example, while pairing a smartphone or headphones we generally see the company’s name or the model’s name as the device name.
The main purpose of naming a device is to enable the user to identify the particular device on windows 10. However, windows 10 identifies a device with its MAC address, and the user cannot change this address.
But when we have multiple Bluetooth devices with the same name, it is very difficult to identify the one we want to pair. At this point, there is a need to rename the device with a unique name. Moreover, if the user does not like the default name of the device then he/she can change the name accordingly.
Follow the steps given below to rename Bluetooth devices on Windows 10.
