Windows build #’s & device names don't match in MS -Devices, System -About & Account -Linked Devices

I was checking the device names and Windows build numbers in Microsoft - Devices, Account - Linked Devices and System - About on our three laptops, two Windows 11 and one Windows 10 (my backup laptop), and one desktop (Windows 11) a few days ago.  The correct build for all is Version 25H2 (OS Build 26200.8457) according to WinVer.  The build numbers and device names are the same in Microsoft - Devices and Account - Linked Devices on the various laptops, but both the build numbers and device names (different, unique names for each laptop) are wrong.  The info in System - About is correct on the three laptops.  Everything is correct on my desktop.  I don't know if this is happening on all the laptops just by coincidence or if there's a certain reason behind it.

My question is---->Is it possible to get the right build numbers and names to appear in the appropriate laptops?  And if so, how can it be done?
