Microsoft understands this, and with the upcoming Fall Creators Update, its introducing a new Phone to PC linking feature that lets you start work on your phone, and then transition it to your Windows 1. We have shown you how to use Continue on PC with i. OS and heres a look at connecting your Android phone with Windows 1. Note that for this to work youll need to be running Build 1.
