I would like to rename a network media device. I'm not quite sure what this is when I see it in File Explorer but here it is under Networks.
How do I change the name from Simone's Media to something else? Clicking on it does not provide a means to do so.

To rename a network media device in Windows, you can follow these steps:
1. Open File Explorer on your Windows PC.
2. Under the "Network" section in the left-hand panel of File Explorer, right-click on the media device you want to rename.
3. In the context menu that appears, select "Properties."
4. In the Properties dialog box, you should see a field labeled "Name." This is where you can type in the new name for your media device.
5. Once you've entered the new name, click "Apply" and then "OK."
After completing these steps, you should see the new name for your media device displayed in File Explorer and any other applications that display network devices. Note that some applications or devices may take a little while to update the name change.

ChatGPT seems pretty useless. As I stated in my question, the dialog box contains no means to change the name:
