Before linking your Android device to your Windows PC, it’s essential to ensure that your phone meets the minimum system requirements. The Phone Link app works on most modern Android devices, but the following criteria must be met:
Operating System: Your phone must be running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or higher.
App Availability: The “Link to Windows” app must either be pre-installed on your device or downloaded from the Google Play Store.
Account Access: You must have a Microsoft account, which will be used to sync your devices.
Many popular Android devices, such as Samsung Galaxy and OnePlus, come with built-in support for linking to Windows. This makes the process even simpler, allowing you to skip manual setup steps. However, if your phone doesn’t come pre-equipped with the www.aka.ms/phonelink Link to Windows app, you can easily download it for free.
