Sorry, I missed seeing the "Device Name". I believe, we can't change the device name. However, you can delete the device and re-create it with a new name

Ok, Thanks for sharing.
I hope this will work - deleting the user and device. To create the new user and assign an existing license.
Thank you @Tamil Arasu. Yes, it is the device name that I want to change. Deleting and readding the device did not help either, already tried that.
After further research I think that it is not possible. The article states: You can edit only the nickname, description, device type, and screen resolution fields.
Aah, didn't thinks of that, let me try
That helped, thank you @Tamil Arasu for the tip!!
EDIT: Sorry, I spoke too fast. Deleting the user + device did not help either. I discovered that the device name is coming from the system name itself, which I don't think is changeable.
Thank you for your help though, @Tamil Arasu!!

Ok,
For Window 10,
- Select Start > Settings > System > About.
- Select Rename this PC.
- Enter a new name and select Next. You may be asked to sign in.
- Select Restart now or Restart later.
Thx @Tamil Arasu but that needs Admin privileges and a strong reasoning to convince IT to change it. I am not sure they will even agree to change after that. But thank you for the suggestion!
