Yesterday we learned that Windows 10 is already installed in more than 270 million computers worldwide, which is great news for Microsoft and that it has made this version of Windows in which the highest growth has obtained, even beating Windows 7.
Apart from that news, Microsoft yesterday revealed another great news for users of an Android phone, and that is that, from a new update to Windows 10, they will be able to receive notifications that arrive on your smartphone to your PC desktop.
The way an Android user will be able to receive notifications from their phone in Windows 10 will be through the Cortana app. It will need its installation so that the "magic" can happen and you can know the missed calls, WhatsApp messages or the necessary app updates that arrive as notifications on a phone from the Google OS for mobile devices.
It is during Build 2016, where Microsoft has detailed how the missed calls, messages and other notifications from an Android phone will reach a Windows 10 PC.
Cortana for Android will activate this support by taking user notifications to the cloud, which will allow them to be replicated on a Windows 10 PC. Those of Redmond also have devised that notifications can be eliminated from the PC itself, which will give greater versatility. This ability will be available on a mobile with Windows 10 Mobile, something that is supposed to be logical but surprising that it is an Android phone that is offered this support.
With this move Microsoft is closer to Android and makes this OS for mobile devices the perfect one to associate with a Windows 10 PC, since this new feature, which will come from a new update to Windows 10, is not available for iOS. This is due to the restrictions of Apple's own OS.
