Comments on Link to Windows for Android

★★★★☆ Michael King · Jul 11, 2026

The application is great. I was able to text my family from my computer today. I did have an issue with the application, because I set it up with an old phone then first I had to figure out how to remove that data and then install the new data on my computer and phone.

★★★★★ K1NG Arthur · Jul 11, 2026

New to Microsoft apps and eager to learn best practices and oversight with easy access and collaborative support. . Only issue is linking device to Windows with some apprehension with personal security and privacy

★★★★★ Maxim Shostak · Jul 20, 2026

It's fast and responsive, and I like being able to talk using my laptop

★★★★★ Foxy AFK RN (A cool dude.) · Jul 20, 2026

So many features that make life just so mach easier from sending files to calling, finding my phone easier, and more, it's definitely made me satisfied.

★☆☆☆☆ Scott Neukam · Jul 20, 2026

Doesn't work with Samsung s24+ for whatever reason it just doesn't work with my laptop. Could be my laptop, but probably not.

★★☆☆☆ Police Department · Jul 1, 2026

I am concerned that this application may expose my mobile device by opening a network service or communication channel for data exchange. If an attacker were to compromise my computer, could they leverage this application's communication mechanisms or exploit a vulnerability within it to gain unauthorized access to my mobile device?

★☆☆☆☆ Andrew McDonald · Jul 11, 2026

1. Loses connection whilst phone is next to laptop 2. SMS actions on laptop aren't always mirrored on the phone. 3. image transfers are very slow 4. Fails to re-establish connection when I return home.
