How to Connect Alexa to Your Computer?

Alexa is a computerized PA (Personal Assistant) and the vocal sound of Amazon’s smart home gadget Echo.

Requirements to Connect Alexa with Your PC:

At the moment, Amazon’s Alexa is only accessible on supported Windows 10 desktops and notebooks. It is either preinstalled on the piece of equipment or recommended during the device’s opening setup. Given that you have a Windows 10 PC, you most likely have the Alexa app for Windows 10.

If you want to check if Alexa is already installed on your Windows 10 PC, type Alexa into the Windows search box. If it doesn’t appear, don’t lose hope. Acer, Asus, HP, and Lenovo are soon going to fit in Alexa into a range of Windows 10 devices.

Assuming that You have the Alexa App for Windows 10, Set it up First Before Using it.

Click Start, then choose Alexa on Windows app.
After the Setup screen appears, choose Set up Amazon Alexa.
Click Continue on the Terms and Conditions screen.
Decide on the settings you require, then click Finish Setup.
If you find the settings, vague and confusing, then remember, they can be modified afterward.
Select Sign In because you want to sign in to your Amazon account; in case you don’t have an Amazon account, then create a new account.

Note: Once the initial login is completed, Alexa will be permanently present on your computer.

To connect Alexa to your computer, begin with the wake word (“Alexa,” "Computer," etc.) followed by a command; otherwise, click the Alexa app on Windows icon.
