How to Change the Device Name in Windows 10 Mobile Phones


Information Devices on a network need unique names so they can identify and communicate with each other. If two devices have the same name on the same network, it creates a conflict for network communications.

The device name for Windows 10 Mobile phones is Windows Phone by default unless named something else by the phone manufacturer.

This tutorial will show you how to change the device name for your phone in Windows 10 Mobile.



Here's How:

1. Open Settings, and tap on System. (see screenshot below)



2. Tap on About. (see screenshot below)



3. Under Device name, tap on the Edit name button. (see screenshot below)



4. Type in a device name you want for your phone, and tap on Save. (see screenshot below)



5. Verify that the new name has been applied. (see screenshot below)



6. If you like, tap on the Start button at the bottom of your phone to go to your Start screen. (see screenshot below)




That's it,

Device Encryption - Turn On or Off for Windows 10 Mobile Phone

thanks for the tip. yes, the phone did ask if I wanted to set a pin. I tried my tests with the pin set and without a pin set. no difference.

it took a while, but I finally got this new update installed.

alas, same pathology:

• with a local Device Encryption toggled On, no dialog, no change in Storage status
• with an activesync policy from Google Sync (Google for Work), the Requires Encryption policy is ignored by the device, so the toggle remains Off, yet the device seems to be reporting back to the server that encryption is activated because the data is syncing with the servers
• with a native Office Enterprise that has a Requires Encryption policy, the settings toggle is moved to On and greyed out so the user cannot disable, the data is syncing immediately, yet the Storage settings do not indicate that the device is encrypted.

last thing. with windows 8.1r2, the Office Enterprise did seem to set the encryption correctly.

still puzzled.
