I am able to pair my Beats Pro headsets. I have three sets, and need to switch during the day. How do I rename the three sets paired with my laptop so they all don't use the same default name?

    There is no right-click menu on Bluetooth devices. There is a "three-dot" menu, but it doesn't have a choice for Properties or for Rename.

    This didn't work for me either. I have the same problem as Caroline with my Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse and my Logitech MX Keys keyboard.

    In the properties window, there is no Bluetooth tab, but there is a Connected Device tab, and applying or pressing ok after changing the name results in the "Renaming Device Failed." error. I've been searching for a solution for the past few hours and nothing yet.
    I'm running Windows 11 version 23H2. Windows update is up to date.

    This did not work for me. First of all, I do not have a Bluetooth tab - just "Hardware". Am able to edit the name, but it says that I cannot rename. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi JPB,

    I'm Amr, an independent advisor.

    To rename paired Bluetooth devices, you can follow these steps:

    Use the search feature, and search for the Control panel.

    Select View by: Category, then click Hardware and sound.

    Click Devices and Printers.

    Right-click the device you want to rename, then click Properties.

    Rename the Bluetooth device.

    Click Apply > OK. Disconnect and reconnect the Bluetooth device to refresh the name.

    I hope this is helpful. If you require any additional assistance, don't hesitate to respond to this.

    Best Regard

    Amr
