Anticipating a Renewed Link to Windows Experience for Android Devices.

Here’s the translation into American English:

Microsoft is rolling out a new version of its Link to Windows app, aimed at Windows Insiders. This update includes a modernized design and a more intuitive onboarding process, allowing users to remotely control their PC from an Android device.

Among the new features, the ability to lock the computer remotely and simplified access to shared content stand out. The revamped app serves as a hub for connected experiences, making it easier to manage content between the Android phone and the Windows PC. Users will be able to view recent activity, manage files and clipboard items, and even check the battery status and Wi-Fi connection of their computer from their mobile device.

Additionally, the update aims to optimize user onboarding, allowing Link to Windows to be set up directly from the Android device without needing to access the computer. With clear instructions and contextual permissions, this approach seeks to simplify the process, promoting a seamless connection between both platforms, even when the user is not at their desk.

Those interested in trying out this new experience can do so if they have the latest version of Windows Insider Preview on their PC and the corresponding version of Phone Link. To access the beta of Link to Windows, users need to visit the Play Store and follow a few steps to pair their Android device with their computer.

Microsoft is also encouraging users to share their feedback on this update, either directly through the app or via the Feedback Hub, reaffirming its commitment to improving cross-device experiences.
