Apps that don’t have desktop versions present challenges for larger folks like yours truly. So I’m often working the phone keyboard as well as my size friendly ergonomic keyboard. Until discovering Phone Link.

It’s a free app from Microsoft that enables you to connect to your phone so you can see your phone desktop on your computer desktop. All you have to do is download and open the Link to Windows app on your phone.

Turn the app on and then link to your phone.

It’s pretty self-explanatory after that. Once linked, you’ll see a small screen with all the apps on your phone. Then, it’s just a matter of accessing apps like you would any other.

For a live demonstration, scroll to the bottom of the email.
