Name of the device on Google Play

Hello, is there a way I can make a name for my device so that when downloading apps on the Google Play Store, I can recognize it quicker. For instance, I own a Chinese tablet and when I try to download some apps on Google Play, it displays all the device that I have. However, when comes to the tablet, it will only show the model name of the tablet and the name of the manufacturer remains unknown. For example, Unknown Core4. Therefore, I would like to know that if there is a way that I could make a name for the device so that it will display on Google Play and other Google Service. Thanks.

Hi,
If you go to the google play store on a desktop select the gear button on the right. (just under your username). Select Devices.
You will be diverted to a seperate browsertab with a google maps interface. There you will be able to find your devices (if they have GPS) and also rename them.
Good luck

[Resolved] [Q] How to List apps installed on specific device? (Google Play Store)

"Sleuthing Google Play (on the web)"
Like many folks, I have more than 1 Android device (or, more than 8 devices).
I used to be able to get a full list of devices registered w/ Google (Play), but now I only get 5 of them. Some devices are offline until I tear them down and fix them.
I can see a listing of "Installed" apps under my Google Play account - a long list (700+).
Is there any way to find a listing PER device? I thought there was, but all I find now is that I can request an app be installed on one of the listed devices, not a way to show what's noted as having been already installed on a specific device.

Per Device Listing - question change
One problem solved...
No sooner than I posted, I discovered the answer to my question...
In the Google Play Store, after selecting "Apps", "My apps", the result displayed defaulted to "App Apps". When I scanned that before, I saw options for "Family Library", "Subscriptions", ...
I stopped when I saw the top two. Below those choices are 4 of the 5 devices that Google Play remembers for my devices.
You can select any of the devices shown, and the app listing will be limited to just that device. (I'd leave a screen shot, but I can't do attachments)
Now, to figure out (backwards), where each of the (700+) apps are installed, which may help me track down my not-included devices.
Can a person have TOO MANY devices? (I'd like to think "No.").

2. After install. Open the Activity Launcher and select the drop-down All Activities on the top screen.
3. Scroll down and select Google Play Services, find the activity and start com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsLink or com.google.android.gms.app.settings.GoogleSettingsIALink
See screenshot below:

Did you install the Google Play Store required apps first?
What you are saying is not clear, so I don't know if you tried installing the Google Play Services and Store on the tablet or not. But, there are no Google apps or settings on the Fire tablet at all coming straight from Amazon. So, by default, there is no Google Settings to find.
