We can rename a file using Notepad++ in two ways, let's take a look at them.
Option 1: Using Menu: File
Be on the tab for the file that you want to change the name.
Now go to Menu: File -> Rename...
Option 2: Using Tab options.
Be on the tab for the file that you want to change the name.
Now right click on the Tab name and select Rename
In both cases, you will see a window appear where you can rename the file.
