Texting from Computer

[anon(9895094)]

I am mad confused with Win10 these days... Ten skypes, updates here, updates there, fast rings, slow bracelets, redrock 1-2-5, this works here, that doesn't work there... health, band...

So my question is, was texting from PC or tablet through a connected phone not working? That's what I thought... But today I noticed that when I get a notification in the action center about that I received a text, I have an option to reply, and it works. My phone is a dual-SIM Lumia 950, the computer is a Surface 4 Pro. It is to be noted that my computer (a third device) which is also under my MS account, does not get these notifications for text. All are with AU, updated on max (regular updates, no insiders stuff, etc), the computer is with Win10 Home, the Surface is with Win10 Pro.

Any insight? Thanks...

I believe that may be a hold over from before the "Messaging Everywhere" and after that the whole Skype thing.

Cortana handles that, its been a thing for Android and Windows Phone for a while unless I'm mistaken. But its not the complete "open-conversations and stuff" experience many people were waiting for.

I accidentally found out today, that this is actually a part of the AU. Must have "Send notifications between devices" enabled in Cortana. Pretty cool
