Hi guys, I will be getting the S22 Ultra in a few days and plan to use smart switch to transfer stuff over to new phone.
My old phone’s screen is destroyed like I can‘t see anything on the screen but still can interact by guessing where say buttons are. So I will be planning on using smart switch on Windows to back up my files then transfer stuff over to the new phone. So far the only way to use my current phone is with Dex and Dex does not allow smart switch to be used.
My question is - this should work right?
And doing it through Windows like this should have the same result as using smart switch directly from both phones?
Which version of Windows 10 is currently installed? See how to verify:

Press Windows key + R
Type: winver
Hit Enter
Does it say Windows 10 N on the dialog?
Hi Troye. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.
There's a tutorial on installing Smart Switch here: https://adrianba.net/2017/10/13/samsung-smart-s...
In the phone's Backup settings you can also back up to a Samsung account you create or to a Google Account. I use both. These have worked for me to back up what I need including contacts. I use Outlook for my email and calendar which sync's across all of my devices.
So it's not really necessary to back up using the PC unless you really want that. The other two methods to the Samsung and google accounts work sufficiently.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
