Solved How do I change this network name?

HI all, hope you can help! This is on the latest version of Windows 10 on an older Dell Precision laptop. It has both a WiFi and Ethernet cable connection to the network/internet. I happened to notice, under the Control Panel "Network Connections", the list of 2 connections - Ethernet and WiFi. It looks like this:

Ethernet
OldNetworkName
<adapter name>

WiFi Connection
Connection-2
<adapter name>

I tried to use 'Rename' from the context menu on each of the above, and it wants to rename 'Ethernet' and 'WiFi Connection' not the entries on the next line, which I would like to change as they are old. In the examples above, how can I rename OldNetworkName and Connection-2 in the Network Connections list? Thanks!

Thanks @glasskuter, but this is Windows 10 not 11, it's different. But I did check out what you pointed me to on a windows 11 machine to be sure what I found on Windows 10 was what you suggested, but this is not renaming the right name - in my example from above this is a Rename of "Ethernet", not "OldNetworkName". Might there be something else to try?

@Brink - see above reply - it's Windows 10 not 11 - and, this renames "Ethernet" not "OldNetworkName".

It's for Windows 10.

@Brink in my example from above this is a Rename of "Ethernet", not "OldNetworkName".

It sounds like you may be wanting to rename the network profile name below instead then.

@Brink that was what I was looking for! Thank you!

You're most welcome.
