How to Cast Your Android Phone to Windows 10

Are you looking for a way to easily cast your Android phone to your Windows 10 computer? Look no further! With Microsoft's Phone Link app, you can seamlessly connect your device and access all of its features right on your PC. In this article, we'll walk you through the simple steps to get started.

Step-by-Step Instructions

To start, open a web browser on your Android device and enter the link displayed on your PC (aka.ms/yourpc). Once you're signed in, you'll be prompted to install or open the companion app on your Android device. You'll need to sign in to your Microsoft account, making sure it's the same one used on both devices.

Next, navigate to the search box on your taskbar and type 'phone' followed by selecting 'Phone Link app' from the results. Make sure your PC and Android device are nearby, turned on, and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

When you open the app, you'll be guided through a few extra steps to complete the setup process. If you have the Windows 10 October 2018 Update or later, Phone Link will be pre-installed on your device. For earlier versions of Windows, you can download and install the app from the Microsoft Store.

System Requirements

To use Phone Link, you'll need:

* An Android device running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or above

* Any Windows version after the April 2018 Update

* A PC running Windows 10 April 2018 Update or later

What Can You Do with Phone Link?

Phone Link allows you to easily read and reply to text messages, view recent photos from your Android device, use your favorite mobile apps, make and receive calls, and manage notifications right on your PC. This seamless connection gives you instant access to everything you love.

In the Microsoft Store, you'll find Phone Link listed under its combined name, 'Phone Link - Link to Windows'. You can also search for it in the Google Play Store or Galaxy Store. If you have a Samsung phone, you may already have the Link to Windows (LTW) app pre-installed.

With Microsoft's Phone Link app, you can effortlessly cast your Android phone to your Windows 10 computer.
