Rename Dual Boot Menu

Hi ...
There are few PCs that are set for Dual Boot and the Second Entry reads as: “Winpe Recovery Tools” in the boot manager.
First option is Windows 10. In the “System Startup” (System Properties > Settings> System Startup) the Second Entry is named differently. Running Credit and EasyBcd also shows the entry in the System Startup. The “Winpe Recovery Tools” entries need to be modified to the “System Startup” entries in those PCs.
Any suggestions/ways to change the Second boot menu entry....
Thank You For Your Quick Prompts.

1. Press "Windows-X" and then select "Command Prompt (Admin)" to open an elevated Command Prompt. Enter your password and click "Yes" if prompted.

2. Input "bcdedit" (without the quotations) into the console and then press "Enter."

3. Review the "Device" or "OSDevice" fields to locate the partition associated with the appropriate operating system.

4. Right-click inside the console and select "Mark" from the context menu. Highlight the information to the right of the "Identifier" field and then press "Enter" to transfer the data to the clipboard.

5. Input the following into Command Prompt: bcdedit /set [Identifier] Description "[Name]" For "[Identifier]," press "Ctrl-V" to paste the selection from Step 4. Replace "[Name]" with the desired description. Press "Enter" to rename the operating system.

Thanks for your help. But Bcdedit already set to the right description and reports the right entry. Please read my question again. Your comment does not solve the issue.

the recovery partition on most PC's is only accessible by using F-keys during startup.
what model pc is this?
The OS installation and the Pcs are not OEM..... So No "F" keys.
Hardware is a white label and OS was installed by "Someone" who cannot be contacted to get more info!!!!!

Has anyone seen “Winpe Recovery Tools”  option in the Boot menu and know how to modify the description.

Thank You For Your time ....
