If you do not have a device that currently supports Link to Windows, your PC needs to support Bluetooth with Low Energy Peripheral mode. Surface Go, Surface Laptop, Surface Laptop 2, Surface Pro 4, Surface Pro 5, Surface Pro 6, Surface Book, and Surface Book 2 with the latest Bluetooth driver updates (Marvell 15.68.17013.110) support this.
How to check if your PC supports Bluetooth Low Energy Peripheral Role
If you received an error in the app indicating that your PC's Bluetooth isn't compatible, it means that your PC's Bluetooth radio doesn't support the capability needed for phone screen to work.
Here are the steps you can follow to check for the capability yourself:
-
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on
-
Open Device Manager by right-clicking on the Start menu.
-
Select and expand the Bluetooth option.
-
Select the Radio Driver or Adapter for Bluetooth.
-
Double click to open Properties.
-
Navigate to the Details tab.
-
Find the “Bluetooth radio supports Low Energy Peripheral Role” property on the drop-down and select it.
-
See if the value is true or false.
-
If it’s “true” then your PC will be able to display your phone screen and interact with it.
