If for some reason you couldn’t link your phone to your computer, check and ensure that your computer is running on Windows 10 or later version.
- To check and update your Windows computer, go to Settings-> Updates & Security menu then click the option to Check for Update.
- To confirm that your computer is running Windows 10 or later, go to Settings-> System-> About and then check the version number under Windows specifications. It should read either 1903 or 1809.
Aside from operating system requirements, your phone and computer must be connected on the same Wi-Fi network.
Once your devices are successfully linked, you then can start using your computer’s mouse, trackpad, keyboard or touch-enabled screen to pen, type, scroll, and interact with your phone apps. In addition, photos from your phone can now be accessed straight through your computer, hence you don’t need to email them to yourself.
