This article explains how to rename a Bluetooth device in Windows 11.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows devices to communicate with each other over short distances. In Windows, you can use Bluetooth to connect various devices, such as speakers, headphones, smartphones, and other computers, to your PC without cables.
When you pair a Bluetooth device with your computer, you can transfer files, stream music, make calls, and so on, depending on the device’s capabilities.
If your Bluetooth device is connected but doesn’t have a friendly name, you can rename it to something you can easily remember.
Renaming a Bluetooth device in Windows can be helpful to identify which device you are connecting to your computer easily. It also makes remembering which device is paired for future use more accessible. Additionally, renaming multiple devices of the same type can help avoid confusion when connecting to a particular device.
