To rename a file, you can follow these common methods depending on your operating system or platform:

On Windows (File Explorer)

• Open File Explorer and locate the file.
• Right-click the file and select Rename from the context menu.
• Type the new file name and press Enter to save it.
  Alternatively, select the file and press the F2 key to rename it directly, then type the new name and press Enter.
  You can also click the file once to select it, pause, and click the name again to edit it.
  Another option is to select the file and click Rename in the File Explorer's Home menu at the top

Using Command Line (Windows)

• Open Command Prompt in the folder containing the file.
• Use the command:
  ren "oldfilename.ext" "newfilename.ext"
  (Include quotes if the names have spaces)

Using PowerShell (Windows)

• Open PowerShell in the folder.
• Use the command:
  Rename-Item "oldfilename.ext" "newfilename.ext"

On Office for the web

• Select the file name at the top of the page.
• Type the new name; changes save automatically

On Android (Files by Google)

• Press and hold the file.
• Tap More and then Rename.
• Enter the new name and confirm

For batch renaming (Windows)

• Use tools like Bulk Rename Utility or PowerRename (part of Microsoft PowerToys) for advanced renaming options, including batch renaming with flexible criteria

These methods cover quick renaming for individual files as well as more advanced options for multiple files. The keyboard shortcut F2 is a fast way to rename files in Windows without using the mouse
