When you connect to a network in Windows for the first time, the operating system automatically saves a profile. If you want to change profiles, you normally have to do it from the system properties or through the CMD window by entering a command line. However, this time we're going to introduce you to a program called Network Profile Name Changer that makes this task much simpler than Windows' options. The platform also allows you to access several network services from its interface, which can be of great help.

The method that Network Profile Name Changer offers us to change the name of our network is so simple that everything is resolved with a single click.
