Rename a Bluetooth Device on Windows 10

Renaming a Bluetooth Device is not as simple as on Android sadly. This option is only availible in the older Win7-Controlpanel.

Navigate to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers.¹⁾

Right click on the Device you want to rename > Properties.

Select the Bluetooth Tab.

The Name in the first line can be edited to your liking.²⁾

Turn of the Bluetooth Device and turn it back on.

It is not enough to just disconnect the Bluetooth Device. It has to be turned off and back on again.

¹⁾

You can do this quickly by entering the following path into Explorer:
Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers

²⁾

If there are multiple devices with the same name, they can be differentiated with their Unique Identifier (Mac Address) at the bottom.
