Spoofing your device model

To trick Samsung Notes into thinking you have a Samsung Galaxy laptop, use the Galaxy Book Mask project from GitHub:

1. Visit the Galaxy Book Mask GitHub page.
2. Download one of three options: Startup, No startup, or Direct Launch.
3. Run the downloaded file.

Now, you can open Samsung Notes and sign in with your Samsung account to sync notes from your phone. You may need to install the Samsung Account app from the Microsoft Store.

While these steps are straightforward, it's surprising that Samsung hasn't made the app more accessible.

The Samsung Account app works seamlessly without additional steps, making the complexity surrounding Samsung Notes frustrating.
