How to rename hardware items in Device Manager

By default, there is no way to rename your hardware from the device manager itself, but there is a workaround if you really want to rename hardware devices to make finding and troubleshooting easier. All you need is the driver key for the particular piece of hardware and you can change its name in the Windows registry.

An account of the process can be found here.
