Renaming a file in Windows can be done in different ways depending on the version of Windows you have and the type of file you are working with.
For Windows XP and earlier versions:
1. Open My Computer or Windows Explorer.
2. Right-click on the file you wish to rename.
3. Select Rename from the pop-up menu.
4. Type the new name and press Enter.
For Windows Vista, 7 and 8:
1. Open Windows File Explorer.
2. Navigate to the folder containing the file you wish to rename.
3. Right-click on the file and select Rename.
4. Type the new name and press Enter.
For Windows 10:
1. Open File Explorer.
2. Navigate to the folder containing the file you wish to rename.
3. Right-click (or tap and hold) on the file.
4. Select Rename from the pop-up menu.
5. Type the new name and press Enter.
Note: For file types that contain multiple files (such as a Zip file), you will need to close the file before you can rename it. Otherwise, the changes will not take effect.
Renaming files in Windows is a simple task that requires very few steps. As long as you have the correct version of Windows, it should only take a few seconds to rename any file or folder.
