Need the same webpage open on your PC? Edge on Android can push the active tab across in one tap.
Pair your phone through Link to Windows and your PC through Phone Link, then sign in everywhere with the same Microsoft account. That setup is what makes Send to devices appear in the Edge Share sheet. From there, the link lands as a notification on the paired PC or opens in Edge automatically.

Send Link to Connected Devices from Edge Browser on Android
Need the open page on your PC? Edge for Android can push the active tab straight to any Windows PC signed in to the same Microsoft account. Look for Send to devices in the Share sheet. That option only appears after the phone and PC are paired through Microsoft’s companion apps.
- Open the page in Edge on Android.
- Tap the More
menu in the bottom toolbar. - Tap Send to devices.
- Pick the computer you want to open the link on.
You’ll know it worked when a notification appears on the paired PC, or the link opens in Edge there on its own. If nothing happens within 10 to 15 seconds, the first send after pairing can be slow. Try the Share sheet one more time before troubleshooting.
Set Up Link to Windows and Phone Link First
Send to devices stays hidden until the phone and PC are linked. On March 31, 2022, Microsoft renamed the companion apps: Your Phone Companion became Link to Windows on Android, and Your Phone became Phone Link on Windows. If either app is missing, signed in to the wrong account, or never finished pairing, the option will not appear.
Install Link to Windows from the Play Store on the phone and sign in with your Microsoft account. On the PC, open Phone Link from the Start menu and sign in with the same account. Run the QR-code pairing, allow the permissions it asks for (Bluetooth, nearby devices, notification access on some builds), and confirm the link shows Connected before returning to Edge.
Check the Microsoft account in three places so they match: Link to Windows on the phone, Phone Link on the PC, and Edge on Android under More → Settings → your profile. The same flow exists in Edge on iPhone and iPad, where the same Share sheet option pushes tabs to your PC.
Send a Link by Long-Pressing the Address Bar
If you only need to push the current URL, try the address bar shortcut. On the page you want to send, long-press the address bar until a small popup appears. Tap Send to devices in that popup and pick your PC. The link goes across without opening the full Share sheet.
Not every build shows this action yet. If your long-press popup only offers Copy link, tap the address bar once to refocus it, then long-press again. Updating Edge from the Play Store brings the action on the next restart if it is still missing after a few days.
Bottom Line
One-tap sending from Edge on Android needs three things: Send to devices in the Share sheet, a paired Link to Windows and Phone Link setup, and the same Microsoft account on every device. With those in place, the Share sheet lists each paired PC automatically.
Going the other direction, you can send links from Edge on Windows to your phone or another PC through the same Send to devices option in the desktop address bar.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn’t Send to devices show up in Edge on Android?
The option is hidden until the phone and PC are linked through Microsoft’s companion apps. Install Link to Windows on the phone, open Phone Link on the PC, sign in to both with the same Microsoft account, then run the QR-code pairing. After the link reports Connected, close and reopen the Edge Share sheet so it refreshes the device list.
Do my phone and PC need the same Microsoft account?
Yes. Send to devices only works between devices signed in to one Microsoft account. If Edge on Android is signed in to a personal account but Phone Link on the PC is signed in to a work or school account (or any other account), the paired PC will not appear in the list.
Is Send to devices the same as the old Continue on PC option?
Yes. Continue on PC was renamed to Send to devices in current Edge mobile builds. The behavior is the same: it pushes the active tab to the paired Windows PC and opens it in Edge.
Why is my PC missing from the Send to devices list?
Confirm Phone Link is running on the PC and reports the phone as connected. On the phone, grant Link to Windows its Bluetooth and nearby-devices permissions, keep both devices online, and double-check that every app in the chain is signed in to the same Microsoft account.
Does Send to devices work without installing Link to Windows?
In some Edge builds the option still appears and pushes the link as a notification. Pairing Link to Windows with Phone Link makes delivery faster and turns on the open the link automatically on the PC behavior. Skipping the companion setup leaves the basic push variant, which still works once you’re signed in to Edge but is less reliable.
