You can rename an album in Photos Legacy: open the album, click its displayed title, enter the new name, and press Enter. If you do not see an Albums section, you may be using the new Photos app, which organizes photos in folders instead. Microsoft says Photos Legacy retains Albums and can be opened from the current Photos app.
