Just a quick heads up but when following the instructions to link your phone to the PC using the Windows Your Phone app it will not work if your android phone name has an accent in it such as My Phonè.
More than that it will break your ability to manage devices via the web ->My Account->Devices.

I have logged this with Microsoft for review but stick to plain set ascii characters for device names for now if you want seemless interaction with windows it to work at all.
 
Thanks for the heads up. That will be helpful for many people who use those apps.
