Safe to change OS name in registry?

I know it is possible to delete that annoying (recovered) label through BCD and with third party utilities.

Is it safe to make the change MANUALLY in this registry hive?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\BCD00000000\Objects\{4dc2309a-c51f-11e0-817f-b2e2fca804f6}\Elements\12000004

Should be, though you may need to edit permissions before you can change. Having said that, please backup everything before you mess around and be prepared to troubleshoot.

Hello DazedKnight, and welcome to Seven Forums.

If you mean the OS name in Windows Boot Manager, then yes it's safe to change. Here's another couple of ways to change it as well.
