Here’s a quick way you can rename your network adapter via PowerShell.

  • First run “Get-NetAdapter”

  • Find the name of your Network Adapter you would like to rename (I’m Choosing Ethernet)
  • Run the following command to change the network adapter name “Rename-NetAdapter “Ethernet” -NewName “DanDavies NIC“”
  • The NIC has now changed name 🙂 you can confirm by running the “Get-NetAdapter” command
