change network adapter name

You might be able to change the name of the company in the inf file.
I'm not sure how that might affect the network adapter in Win10. I had an older USB network adapter that I had to change the .inf so that it used a driver from the chip manufacturer, not the driver form the USB adapter maker.

Win7 & Win8 were fine with the change, but Win10 would not install it due to driver signing.

You can use device manager to determine the .inf file - on the details page, scroll down to inf

Make a copy of the original just in case you have to replace it.

Know that there is some risk of losing the function of the network adapter - do this at your own risk. I have not tested it.

Look first, think second, do third.

there is so much files !! which one ?

C:\Windows\inf\XxX.inf

i am glad for your help, thank you all :)

i will trying , Not Solve Yet

how can i change it ?

Once you open your browser to the IP address for the device you should be able to change some things but you will need to have the username and maybe password to do so. Maybe even re-running the setup disc will allow it.

Device Manager
Scroll down to and expand Network Adapters
Double click your adapter to show Properties
Press the Details tab
Property box: scroll to Inf name
Value box: displays the name of the inf file

You can also see the specific inf section in the inf file if you scroll down the property list a little further



Remember there is some risk messing around with the inf files.

thanks mr.Slartybart _ and sorry for my late reply i forget this topic

but i solve it, just change your MAC Address to another company and the adapter name will change !!
