Dell has seemingly made the Mobile Connect Windows 10 app available to all PC owners. When app originally hit the store, specific Dell PCs were required since they had a special driver that allowed everything to work. Now the PC vendor has made it so any compatible Windows 10 installation can run the app without issues.
It was possible to run the app — which allows you to mirror your phone, take calls, viewing notifications, and more — on a number of PCs but the experience was a hit or miss. Now anyone can enjoy the excellent feature set.
All you need is a Windows 10 PC with Bluetooth and a smartphone running Windows 10 Mobile, iOS or Android and you're good to go. We've already tested the app out and it seems to work just fine on a few different devices so give it a try for free today by downloading it from the Microsoft Store.

Dell Mobile Connect app gets a big upgrade to version 2. Our most popular phone/desktop integration app is the Dell Mobile Connect app, which recently became available to download to PC users from all OEMs (though the store listing insists on 2018 Dell PCs and above). Sep 10, 2017 This app requires the companion Dell Mobile Connect PC app available, for free, through the Microsoft App Store. The companion PC app is available on Dell XPS, Inspiron, G. Download the companion mobile app, for free, from your iOS or Android app store. Launch the Dell Mobile Connect PC app and follow the quick, guided, one-time set-up to wirelessly connect your phone. Systems Requirements:. PC: Dell PCs purchased in January 2018 or later. Mobile: Android 6, and above, or iOS 10, and above.
Updated August 1, 2018: It appears the download is unavailable for some devices. However, we have confirmed it is working with multiple Surface Book 2 devices and a Surface Pro, so it's still working for at least some.
Dell Mobile Connect provides a complete and wireless integration between smartphones and PCs, allowing Android and iOS users to make calls, send texts, get notifications, transfer files, and interact with all of their favorite mobile apps. right from their PC screen.
One of the best additions Dell has made to its PC lineup in recent months is Dell Mobile Connect. While we're still waiting for Microsoft to bring its Your Phone app to all Windows 10 users, Dell Mobile Connect already achieves much of what it promises, including phone mirroring, making and receiving calls, viewing notifications, and more. The only problem? It has only been available with Dell laptops sold after January 1, 2018 – until now.
In what appears to be a mixup, potentially related to recent changes to the Microsoft Store, Dell Mobile Connect is now available to download and use on any PC, regardless of manufacturer. Previously, going to the app's listing on any PC that wasn't a Dell would show that it wasn't available for that device.
Getting started with Mobile Connect requires a few steps, but it's fairly simple. Once you've downloaded the app from the Microsoft Store, you'll be prompted to install drivers from Dell's website. After installing the required drivers, you can open Mobile Connect again to begin the setup process, which involves selecting whether you're using an Android or iPhone device, downloading companion mobile app, and connecting your PC to your phone.
Because Mobile Connect is intended for Dell PCs, like the latest XPS 13, it's likely that its availability for all PCs is a mistake and Dell could very well pull it for non-Dell devices in the future. But if you're looking to get a taste of what Microsoft's own Your Phone app will be able to do in the future, Mobile Connect is a great little app that provides much of the same functionality for now.
