1. Boot any configuration you like.
2. Check system properties for version (right click Computer, properies).
Let’s say you booted into 64-bit version.
3. Open Command Prompt with ‘Run as administrator’.
4. Issue command:
bcdedit /set description "Vista x64"
This will set description of currently loaded OS to "Vista x64"
To rename other otion, look at bcdedit help. The command to issue will be
something like:
bcdedit /set {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71} description "Vista x86"
Note, the long number is unique id number. You see what it is when you issue
bcdedit command (without parameters). Alternatively, you can reboot into
second config and repeat above steps with suitable description.
