I have the note 10 plus and wondering how do i use samsung dex on my pc wireless? or a way i can transfer files from my computer to my phone? I hate using cables. I have the old school windows 7 premium lol

Heh, I get it man. But as far as I know DeX requires a cable, whether usb-to-HDMI into a monitor, or usb-to-usb into your computer.

I'm not 100% sure until I try it later when my phone arrives but I was under the impression you set it up initially with the windows app on your PC/laptop and then you could use it wirelessly.

Verbatim from the user manual (page 177).

Out of curiosity, what is the point of Dex connected to a computer?

To me, DeX is more for people on the move or people without a desktop computer where you can just plug in your USB-C cable to whatever the monitor/TV connection is (usually USB) and use it as a PC, it's pretty impressive to be fair.

The Link to Windows app/toggle on your notification drop down menu is a direct connection wirelessly to your PC to share files/photo's etc, it also reads your text messages and you can send messages also via your PC.
