A couple of days ago, someone asked me how to change the Bluetooth adapter’s name on a Windows 10 PC? In this guide, we will see how to change Bluetooth adapter’s name in Windows 10.

Your Windows 10 Bluetooth adapter’s name is usually required when you want to receive a file from another Bluetooth device, or when you want to pair your phone with your Windows 10 PC.

In Windows 10, you can see your Bluetooth adapter’s name by navigating to Settings app > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.

If you are looking to change the default name of the Bluetooth adapter on your Windows 10, remember that the Bluetooth’s name is nothing but your Windows 10 computer’s name. In other words, Windows 10 automatically sets your Windows 10 computer’s name as Bluetooth’s
name.

Because of this, you cannot change the Bluetooth name alone in Windows 10. If you want to change the Bluetooth’s name, you need to change the computer name. In short, it’s impossible to set different names for your Windows 10 PC and Bluetooth adapter on your
PC.

Following are the two ways to change your Windows 10 PC Bluetooth name.

Method 1

Step 1: Navigate to Settings app > System > About.

Step 2: Under Device specifications, click Rename this PC button. This will open Rename your PC dialog.
