My brother tried to use the Phone App Link in his Windows 10 laptop, but
it requires a phone, assume a Cell phone, to "link to". How do you setup
a Link to a Cell phone?

most likely bluetooth, maybe usb but less convenient
I think it requires a Microsoft account too.
dir /b c:\software\editor\android\emulatorsandyroid <== this is a decent choice

When I tap Link to Windows & tap "I don't have a PC", it brings up: <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/phone-link-app-requirements-and-setup-cd2a1ee7-75a7-66a6-9d4e-bf22e735f9e3>
Think they've changed it for Win11

No way past ... you either have to use an existing a/c or create a new one.]

Thanks for that confirmation that a Microsoft Account is required.
I noticed one thing in Microsoft's instructions which was they didn't
mention the account, or, at least not in the list of the requirements.

Thanks for showing there's no way to use Link to Windows without creating a Microsoft Account, which, well... how shall I say this delicately... means
I wouldn't use it under any circumstances - especially as it probably
doesn't do anything I can't already do with what I have already running.
BTW, all Apple-garden stuff is done the same way, which is you can do all sorts of neat stuff if you're always logged into the mothership servers.
So I guess Link to Windows, when it copies a file, for example, the three feet from your phone to your PC, actually goes a thousand miles (or so).
Who wants that? Not me. If I'm gonna copy a file three feet, I only want it to go three feet and not to someone elses' computer in the middle.
As for the emulation, whenever I emulate Android on Windows, all the apps work just fine as does the Internet but I never can get the hardware to
work such as the bluetooth of the emulator (but my PC is AMD, not Intel).
Hi,You install the phone app on both phone and PC. When wifi is on in

This machine has an MSA. I picked Win11Home for this experiment, so
I would experience as many "rough edges" as possible. However, I don't
do email on the machine, and "my address book is blank". Companies hate
it, when that happens :-) There are supposed to be scraping processes
on the machine, to harvest those.
