Renaming Cloud PCs with Windows 365

Renaming your Cloud PC is just like renaming a physical PC – it’ll change your Cloud PC name to whatever name you'd like to rename to.

To rename your Cloud PC:  

1. Under Your Cloud PCs, select Edit next to [Name’s] Cloud PC. 

2. Enter the new name you’d like for this Cloud PC.

3. Once you’ve renamed your Cloud PC you’ll see one of the following:  

• If successful: Renamed [Name’s] Cloud PC highlighted in green.

• If unsuccessful, one or more of the following error messages will be displayed in red:

  • [Name’s] Cloud PC wasn’t renamed. Names can’t include the characters /:\*?”<>|.

  • [Name’s] Cloud PC wasn’t renamed. Names can’t start with: .

  • [Name’s] Cloud PC wasn’t renamed. Names must be at least 1 character long.

  • [Name’s] Cloud PC wasn’t renamed. Names must be less than 16 characters long.
