How to rename bluetooth device in Windows 10
Published:
When my wireless QC30 headset connects to a device, it reads out "connected to [device-name]". This is handy, but when for example connecting to my work laptop, which has a rather long cryptic alphanumeric name, it gets annoying instead. And since it's a work laptop, I can't just change the name of the device either, and frankly, I don't want to have to do that either. I just want my device to have a different name specific to bluetooth. Turns out, you can actually do that:
- Run
devmgmt.msc
- Find your bluetooth adapter under Device Manager / Bluetooth
E.g. mine is calledIntel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R)
- Right-click and choose Properties
- Go to the Advanced tab
- Change Name
- Hit OK
And it's done. 👍
