Got a link on your Android phone that you want to open on Windows? Here’s how to share links with your PC quickly and easily.
While phones are handy for their portability, they don't offer a well-rounded experience for doing everything. For instance, if you want to read that lengthy column from your favorite online magazine, you may want to do it from your PC.
Sharing links to your Windows PC helps you jump right in without all the hassles of copying and pasting the link to your digital notebook or emailing yourself the link. Here's a quick and easy way of sending links from your Android phone to a Windows PC.
To share a link from your Android phone to your Windows PC, you need to link both devices first. But before we start, ensure your phone runs Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later, and your Windows PC has at least the Windows 10 May 2019 Update.
So first, update your Android phone or PC if necessary. In addition, your phone and PC should be connected to the same Wi-Fi for this method to work.
Follow these steps to set up your phone and Windows PC ready for link sharing:
After scanning, tap Continue on your device and grant the app all the necessary permissions. You should also allow the app to run in the background. Tap Done to finish on your phone. On your PC, tap Continue to finish.
Now that your devices are linked, you can share a link from your phone to your PC via the following steps:
The link will open instantly in your default browser if your PC is on. Otherwise, you'll be notified when you power on the PC.
Sharing links from one of your devices to another shouldn't be a tough undertaking. The process is very simple for Android and Windows PCs, and the link opens directly in your default browser. It can't get easier than that.
Hopefully, you're now able to share links to your Windows PC instantly using the steps above.
