Hello Android Central users -- please forgive any ignorance exhibited in my question.

I received as a gift a Chinese version of Moto Z Play -- very cool phone. This is unlocked/dual SIM. I can choose English at setup, however none of the standard Android apps are present -- not even Play Store. I tried (and failed) to use a Chinese-language Lenovo app store to setup Play Store. Essentially this is a brick to me.

Is there a way to solve? For example, can I root the device and install a standard version of Marshmallow? If so, would someone be kind enough to point me the right direction? I have a moderate amount of tech capability, but def not expert mode.

Again, sorry for rookie questions. Thank you. Eric
