What is Samsung Smart Switch?
Samsung Smart Switch for Windows helps you keep a local backup of a Galaxy phone or tablet and move supported data to a replacement Galaxy device. Connect the old device with a data-capable USB cable, allow access on the phone and choose the categories to back up. Connect the new Galaxy device when you are ready to restore the saved data.
The desktop app also supports restoring data from an iTunes backup, syncing Outlook contacts and calendars, and checking for available Galaxy device software updates. It is a phone backup and migration utility, not the separate Galaxy Book Smart Switch tool for moving between computers.
A backup is not a browsable copy of everything on your phone. Samsung notes that backed-up messages cannot be read on the PC; they become readable after restoration to a phone. Supported content varies by device and transfer method, and DRM-protected media and some private app data cannot be transferred. The Windows requirements in Samsung's US guide are Windows 10 or later, with the Microsoft Media Feature Pack needed if it is missing.

Good to know
