Before you know how to receive and send messages from your Windows 10 PC, you should know a few things. First, this feature is available for PCs running Windows 10 version 1803 or later. Second, your Android device must be running version 7.0 (Nougat) or later and must be connected to Wi-Fi.

Here’s how it works. The official Your Phone app in Windows 10 helps you receive and reply to text messages. It would help if you linked your Android phone to your Windows 10 PC (one-time exercise) to access your Android phone messages right from your Windows 10 PC without connecting your phone to your PC.

Your phone apps will display the messages you have received or sent within the last 30 days. It will show both SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). Other message types such as Multimedia Information Services (RCS) are not supported.
