Verify installation
Now your Arduino should be flashed with the new bootloader. If its not correctly installed read the instructions carefully and try again. For more help have a look here.
To check if the installation worked fine open "Devices and Printers" under Windows and right click through the menus as in the picture below. You can also see the HoodLoader2 version (2.0.3 in this case).
See this if your Arduino does not change the name even if it should be installed all correct.
# The easiest way to get information about your arduino
# is to run the command below
# and then plug in you arduino afterwards.
# Make sure it is in bootloader mode (double tab reset)
udevadm monitor --subsystem-match=usb --property | grep -E "REVISION|VENDOR|MODEL"
# sample output:
