There’s no need for a Windows 10 PC to use Cortana on your Android device, but you should know the app in its final form will offer sync capabilities between the two operating systems. However, the last step is optional so you can just tap Next if you want to skip it. Then, you’ll have to provide the assistant with your name or nickname and log in using your Microsoft account (of course if you don’t have one, you’ll have to create it first). At first run, you’ll have to go through a short setup process. Then you can go ahead and install the app. The first thing you need to do is review the app’s permissions and agree with them. Now simply download the APK file from APKMirror and run it. Enable the “Unknown sources” option found in Settings – Security (or Lock screen and security) if you haven’t already. Since we’re talking about an APK file here, and not a Google Play app, your phone must be able to install apps from sources other than the Play Store.
