Sync with a wireless device

Windows can sync with compatible mobile devices that you connect wirelessly to your computer. Many mobile phones connect using Bluetooth wireless technology. Syncing a Bluetooth enabled device wirelessly can be much slower than syncing a device connected by a cable. If syncing is taking too long, try connecting the device to your computer using a USB cable or whatever wired connection the device supports, if any.

Some wireless devices use Wireless USB or Wi‑Fi connections. These are typically faster than Bluetooth connections. For more information about connecting a wireless device, see Find wireless and network devices to add to your computer.
