Are you trying to download something from the Apple or Google Play store?

It's not inappropriate. Just use more applicable tags so the right people see.

Which media source are you using?

Like Amazon store, Android store, etc?

Depending on the "store" it may have a setting which defaults to a specific "device." As an example, I have multiple Kindles (my computer is one, my handheld is another, my phone is a third). I have to make sure to send purchases to the correct one.

Google Play is for android phones and tablets and apps that you install will download to either or both devices you are logged into with that account...for an example, let's say your email address is [login to see] and you're logged into your phone and tablet with that account...now you're on your computer or any computer for that matter and you're checking your google account while logged in as [login to see] on your computer and you decide to look and see what google play has to offer...whatever games, apps or movie you install will be installed on your devices, other than your computer, that you are logged into...i.e, your phone, your tablet or any of your other android devices...if you want apps on your laptop, you will more than likely have to go to the Microsoft apps store and download those types of apps to your laptop...your laptop's operation system is windows and your phone/table is android...their apps come from different stores...I hope that makes sense and helps out a lil...sorry if confusing....
