In this guide, we will show you the steps to install and use the Samsung Notes app on a non-Samsung PC. When it comes to Android, then it’s the South Korean conglomerate that probably has the best ecosystem with its Galaxy Book laptop, smartwatch, smartphones, earbuds, and smart tags all closely knitted together. This also enables the app data to be synced across numerous supported devices.
For instance, you could jot down all your important notes on the Samsung Notes app and then access it from your PC as well. In this regard, you had the option to use this app on a non-Samsung PC which has subsequently been removed with an update to the Notes app. Fortunately, there still exists a nifty workaround using which you could easily use the Samsung Notes app on a non-Samsung PC. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.

How to Use Samsung Notes on a non-Samsung PC
We have listed three different methods that will help you get this job done. Go through each of them and then try out the one that is in sync with your requirements.
Method 1: Using Older Version of Samsung Notes
The older version of Samsung Notes still seems to be running well and good on non-Samsung PCs. So refer to the below steps to grab hold of that file and check if it works out in your favor.
- First off, head over to the Online Link Generator for Microsoft Store.
- Now type in the below URL and hit the checkmark.
https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/samsung-notes/9NBLGGH43VHV?hl=en-us&gl=us
- Then download the file which is named as:
SAMSUNGELECTRONICSCoLtd.SamsungNotes_4.3.150.0_neutral_~_wyx1vj98g3asy.Msixbundle
- Now check if you are able to install the Notes app on a non Samsung PC.
Method 2: Via Registry Batch File
In order to get this job done, we will first spoof your PC to Samsung Galaxy Book using a batch file via GitHub. Since the batch file is EXE, some antivirus might flag it as a virus, so it’s just a false positive. However, if you still have any doubts, then you could manually carry out this spoofing by modifying the registry values, as explained in this guide.
Likewise, that guide will also show you the steps to verify if your PC has been masked as a Galaxy Book or not. Moreover, we have also listed out the steps to undo that change in case you want to revert to stock [in which case, the Notes app will no longer work].
- First off, download the Mask Galaxy Book batch file from GitHub.
- Now run this file and restart your PC. It will be masked as a Galaxy Book.
- Then launch Microsoft Store and try installing the latest version of the Notes app on a non Samsung PC.
Method 3: Using Old Notes app and Registry Hack
This is an amalgamation of method 1 and method 2. In this approach, we will be installing the older version Samsung Notes app on a non Samsung PC using the Registry hack. Follow along.
- First off, download the Mask Galaxy Book batch file from GitHub.
- Now run this file and restart your PC. It will be masked as a Galaxy Book.
- Then head over to the Online Link Generator for Microsoft Store.
- Now type in the below URL and hit the checkmark.
https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/samsung-notes/9NBLGGH43VHV?hl=en-us&gl=us
- Then download the file which is named as:
SAMSUNGELECTRONICSCoLtd.SamsungNotes_4.3.150.0_neutral_~_wyx1vj98g3asy.Msixbundle
- Since your PC is already spoofed as Galaxy Book, you can now install the app without any issues.
