To prepare for the launch of the latest version of Windows 10, Microsoft released on Oct 8 a test version (Build 18999) of the updated operating system to Insiders, bringing the community the ability to take (or decline) Android calls right from their PC.

In August at Samsung Unpacked, the Calls feature coming to Microsoft's Your Phone app – which would allow Android phone users to make and take phone calls on their PC – was first announced. Last week, the tool was demoed at the Surface Event in New York City, and on Oct 7, a preview of Calls was released for Windows Insiders to test ahead of the public release.
