With the release of the Microsoft Edge browser on iOS and Android, you can now easily transition from using the mobile browser over to your Windows 10 PC with an awesome feature called Continue on PC. This is very useful when you are browsing a site on your phone, but would like to move over to your Windows 10 PC without missing a beat. In order to set this up, you need the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (build 16299) or newer and an Android or iOS device that supports the Microsoft Edge mobile app.
To get started, click on the Start Button, type in Link Your Phone and hit Enter.
Hit Add a Phone.
Type in your phone number and hit Send.
On your phone, you will receive a text message that will take you to the app store to install the Microsoft Edge mobile browser. Once it is installed, open it up and sign into the Microsoft Edge mobile browser with your Microsoft ID.
Once authenticated, the setup is complete. On your Windows 10 PC, you will notice your phone is now listed under Manage phones.
When you are in the mobile Microsoft Edge browser and want to transition to your Windows 10 PC, just hit the phone icon in the center of the bottom menu.
Then, select the computer you want to move your browsing session to.
And instantly, Microsoft Edge will open on your Windows 10 PC with the page opened.
