One of the core benefits of linking your iPhone to your Windows 10 PC is that you can send webpages from your iPhone to PC so that you can pick up where you left off with ease.
Starting with the Fall Creators Update, Windows 10 allows you to view web pages on PC that you were viewing on your iPhone and Android. In simple words, you can now share webpages from your iPhone and Android phones to Windows 10.
All you need to do is install Continue on PC app on your iPhone or Android phone and sign-in with a Microsoft account. Remember that you need to use the same Microsoft account to sign in on both your iPhone and Windows 10 PC to be able to share webpages.
This is how it works. Once you install and sign-in to Continue on PC app using the same Microsoft account that you use to sign-in to your Windows 10 PC, open a webpage in Safari or any other web browser. Tap the Share icon, tap Continue on PC app in the list, tap Continue now to immediately open the webpage in your default web browser on your PC. If you tap Continue later option, the webpage will appear in the Action Center. You can click on the webpage link in the Action Center at any time to open it.
IMPORTANT: Your PC must be running Windows 10 Fall Creators Update or above version to use this feature. So, make sure that you have Windows 10 Fall Creators Update before proceeding further.
