Wish: Possibility to rename Bluetooth devices
I don't see at all what you are talking about. I was talking about Win 10. Are you?
1. In the Devices > Bluetooth & other devices, this is what I have:
I clicked on the device (BT5.0 Mouse) as you suggested. There is ONLY one button called "Remove device". Right-click has no use. Where did you see the "Device name" field?
2. In Control Panel > etc ..... > Properties dialog, this is what I get:
The "General" tab has no field to input whatsoever.
I was referring to Windows 10.
Control Panel ( Open with the key combination [Windows] + [R]. Enter "control" there and confirm with "OK" or [Enter])
> Devices and Printers
> select device
> right mouse button
> Properties
> Bluetooth
> Customize name or .Change
> OK
It seems that the steps I provided may not work for your specific device or version of Windows 10. Some Bluetooth devices may not have the option to be renamed through the Windows settings.
However, you may be able to rename your Bluetooth device through its manufacturer’s software or app. You can check the device’s documentation or the manufacturer’s website for more information on how to do this.
