iMessages are syncing in the background. So, in the meanwhile, let’s set up Google Chrome on your PC.

Before I go ahead, one thing you should know is that the Chrome Browser has an important role to play in receiving iMessage on PC.

1. First, make sure the Google Chrome browser is already installed in your MAC. If it isn’t, you can download and install its latest version from here.

4. Now open the Chrome remote desktop extension and right away, you will get two options:

• REMOTE ASSISTANCE
• MY COMPUTER

5. Here without thinking too much simply select get started under my computer option.
6. Select all the Necessary permissions and let Chrome download and install remote desktop host Installer on your MAC.
7. Once Chrome installs the host packages, enable the Remote Connections Button.
8. To verify your admin access, MacBook Air will ask you to create a six-digit pin for remote access.

P.S. This 6-DIGITS pin is required to connect your MacBook air with windows 10 PC.

Setting up a Windows 10 PC to Receive iMessage on PC

1. Open the Chrome browser and make sure to log in to your Chrome browser using the same Google account you used to sign in to the Mac Book Air.
2. Once again open the Chrome Web Store and install the Chrome Remote Desktop extension.
3. After installing the extension, open it just like MacBook Air, you will see these two options:

• Remote Assistance
• My Computer

4. Out of the two available options select the GET STARTED option under the MY COMPUTERS section.
5. Then a list of available devices will be visible to you. Select your MacBook Air and enter the six-digit pin you created in the MacBook to your Windows 10 PC.
6. At last, enable the Remote Connection on your Windows 10 PC.
