    Hi apurrinkitten

    That is a setting on your router, rather than a setting in Windows . . .

    On the back or bottom of your Router is a sticker with a UserName, Password and IP address (something like 192.168.0.1) printed on it

    Note those down

    Go to your PC and open a Web Browser

    In the address type the IP address and hit Enter

    That will bring up your routers configuration page

    Somewhere on that page you will find settings

    What you need to change is the SSID (the name of your WiFi Network) and the password

    Before you can change that, you will need to enter the UserName and Password you noted down from that sticker on the router

    That's It!

    The first thing you need to do is go to the setup page of your router and select the Wi-Fi section and change the SSID. The Windows 10 will see the new SSID and you can enter your password in the settings of Windows 10.
