How to rename a Virtual Machine

976716Nov 28 2012 — edited Nov 28 2012
I have a VM with guest Windows 8, host Windows 7, and the VM Manager is 4.2.4.r8 1684

All I want to do is to rename the VM to 'xxx Windows 8' because currently it's called 'xxx Windows 7'. How can I do this as easily as possible.

I have tried just keying in the new name, or playing around with the VDI files and folders, but it didn't work.

I tried cloning but Windows 8 is clever enough to know it's a copy so won't let me use the existing Activation key.

Help please!
