    How to Link Android Phone to Windows 10 PC


    Linking your iPhone or Android phone to your PC lets you switch seamlessly between your phone and PC. Start a task on one of your devices and continue it on another.

    You can text and see recent photos from your phone, right on your PC. Or if you're on your phone, send webpages straight to your PC.

    The Your Phone experience starts on your PC with Windows 10 and the Your Phone app. From your PC you can connect to select Android and Samsung devices with these two apps:


    You’ll see these names combined as “Your Phone Companion – Link to Windows” in the Google Play Store and in the Galaxy Store. In the Microsoft Store, you’ll see “Your Phone.” This link between your device and PC gives you instant access to everything you love. Read and reply to text messages with ease, view recent photos from your phone, use your favorite mobile apps, make and receive calls, and manage your phone’s notifications right on your PC.

    You can get more apps on your phone to make it work even better with your PC.

    This tutorial will show you how to link your Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later phone to your Windows 10 PC with your Microsoft account.

    The Your Phone app currently does not support organizational (work) accounts.

    Shawn, when I got to step #10, I came to a screeching halt. My trusty Galaxy S4 runs Lollipop 5.1, no higher without rooting. This requires minimum of Nougat 7.0.

    Hello Dick,

    Yeah, it requires Andriod 7.0 (Nougat) or later.

    The last time I installed the phone companion it screwed up the icons on home screen and other screens I added. I couldn't remove it until I found something in an android forum to re-install the app-launcher. I have a Galaxy S6 Edge. I'm almost afraid to try it again.

    Hello Jerry,

    I didn't have that issue on the S9.

    I found the issue. The phone app on my Galaxy S6 set the home display to easy mode which I set back to normal. Now everything is fine.

    I noticed that when you click on the link in the text message sent to link your phone it takes you to Microsoft Launcher rather than Your Phone Companion. Microsoft Launcher totally changes the display on your phone. I downloaded Your Phone Companion manually from Google Play after linking the PC rather than using Microsoft Launcher.

    Is there any reg tweak to integrate in ISO to disable this from the beginning of the Windows installation so that it doesn't ask in OOBX?
