Hello, I am so confused, look I recently got a Dell laptop, and I was so happy because I heard that windows supports samsung notes, After I unboxed it, set it up, and downloaded samsung notes I found that it doesn't work. It says it only works on samsung PCs. I'm quite disappointed so now i'm going to have to download a third party note app.

It's probably because u need to install a "modded" version of windows like when samsung was built in to windows.

You can access notes through Windows phone link, not quite the same as having it on your computer, but at least you can see and write notes.

There are ways to run Samsung Notes, but not in ways Samsung would agree with. It is beyond me why Samsung makes good software and makes it exclusive to their laptops. I mean I get it, money and all that, but it honestly feels like they are shooting themselves in the foot.

This article will show you how to get it to work, but proceed at your own risk. The method involves running code which I have not personally reviewed yet to be 100% safe. Sammy, if you get angry with me posting this, just make your software available. 🙄

If you want to (sync) Samsung Notes to your laptop, you have to start by syncing your Samsung Notes to Microsoft OneNote on your Samsung device. Go to your Samsung Notes app on your Samsung device, tap on settings ( gear icon), then tap sync to Microsoft OneNote, and it will walk you through the login process.

That's actually a much more responsible route than mine haha. I didn't realize they could sync, very cool!
