In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to install and use the Samsung Notes app on a non-Samsung PC. Samsung’s ecosystem, with it’s Galaxy Book laptops, smartphones, smartwatches, earbuds and smart tags, offers seamless integration. One significant advantage of this ecosystem is the ability to sync app data across various supported devices.
