Hey, does Samsung Notes app is compatible with non Samsung Windows PC, I'm confused about that. I haven't use Samsung Notes ever and curious to install it on my PC. And does it allows to take handwritten notes? Please help me with this.

Thank you.
 
Notes are absolutely compatible with a Samsung Windows PC. I figured it would come pre-loaded. Handwritten notes? I'd assume yes if you have a touch screen. (I'm using Notes on my HP Windows 11 laptop)

I'm talking about non Samsung PC.
 
I still don't use a pen on Notes on my PC, so I don't know.
I have read that handwriting on Samsung Note smother when we are using S Pen as it give pressure sensitivity and palm rejection feature. But we can only use S Pen with Samsung devices. I think this is not good for handwriting on non Samsung PC.
 
I have Samsung Notes installed on my Microsoft Surface Pro 8, which has a Surface Slim Pen 2. I can write notes on the SP8 using its pen & it syncs to my phone with no problems.

I attached a picture of the note after it was synced to my phone. (The phone is in dark mode, so the background is black. On the SP8, the background is white.)

So if you have a Non Samsung PC that has its own pen, then I would think it would work.

Yeah, you are right, it is working but it is not something that I want. I don't like the handwriting on it. In my experience I do not feel smoothness while handwriting compared to goodnotes and notability software, it might be because samsung notes is not a dedicated handwriting app and it caters a broad audience for solving note taking purposes.

That makes sense. :)

It's great that we still have options to a variety of apps, as one size will never fit all.
