If you use Android phone and Windows, the best you can do is install
"Your Phone" app on both phone and computer.

It's approximately as difficult as falling off the proverbial log - but
it does need Windows 10 as a minimum.

I've been using it for years, the gotchas are that it doesn't do
multiple recipients well, and MMS' are a bit hit and miss.

I just installed it from the Play Store on the 'phone, installed it from
the MS shop on the peecee, followed the instructions to connect them -
they need to be on the same WiFi network to connect - and Bob was my
grand-uncle!

Cheers,
