    Can't change Windows 10 bluetooth name


    I have my Windows 10 PC named "PC" from what I can tell, but whenever I connect my Bose QC35 headphones via bluetooth to my computer, my headphones say "connected to desktop L8VGX bla bla bla," which is really annoying. I want to change the bluetooth device name to "PC" but can't seem to figure out how.

    I'm running Windows 10 Education Edition, version 2004, build 19041.508. Under Settings > Update & Security > OS build info, it says the device name is "PC." If I pull up sysdm.cpl, it says the full computer name is "PC." Under Settings > Devices, it says my computer is discoverable as "PC."

    How can I change the bluetooth device name?

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

    I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

    Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision

    USB-BT211 Mini Bluetooth Dongle | Networking | ASUS Global

    • Support A2DP for Wireless Stereo Music Playback
    Edit: This is a dongle with old BT version I see now, but I'm sure you can find a Asus BT4.0 version.

    Edit2:

    @aasim1111 I have this one, it doesn't show that it supports A2DP in the specs but I think it'll work, otherwise send a mail to Asus and ask.
