Renaming files to sequential numbers manually isn’t easy in the newer versions of Windows because the operating system comes locked with auto-arrange functionality. However, if you really want to put a lot of files in sequential order there are a few ways to do that.
Modify Each File in Your Desired Sequence
Simply modify each file one by one by doing so manually. Now, right-click in the same folder (where the files are located), point to Sort by and select Date modified.
Finally, press the F2 key to rename all files instantly.
Make a Sequence by Dragging Files
This functionality won’t be possible in any other folder except for the Desktop. So, you will have to copy all the files on the desktop for this method to be effective.
To do so:
- Copy all the files to a section on the Desktop.
- Now form a sequence by arranging them in your desired order.
- Select all the files and press F2 to rename the group.
You can rename them in any manner you want and the sequence number will automatically appear against each file.

To rename files with numbers:

- Click Add Rule | Rename.
- Finally, click Yes to signal your approval.
That’s it. Mission accomplished!
