It’s very easy to rename any file in Windows but it’s very irritating & time consuming when people have to rename name too many files. They go by simple method, renaming files one by one which takes lot of time. So in this article I have explained couple of methods on how you can rename multiple files at once in Windows to save your time and effort.

In this article I have covered the methods which Windows itself provides, no third party application usage is shown here to rename multiple files in Windows.

This method will help you out to rename each file manually if you want to give different names to each one of them. This method will avoid you to do right click again and again and then selecting Rename to rename any file. Follow the below method:

• Open folder containing files.
• Next, right click on the first file and select Rename. Give any desired name to the file and press Tab key, it will rename the first file and take you to second file to rename.
