based on the broken and bloated but mostly working file from https://beebom.com/how-use-dell-mobile-connect-on-any-windows-10-pc/

this works with dell mobile connect 4.0 (dell mobile connect "new") and also with the older 3.x versions
i was able to just download it straight off the microsoft store and get it running

Thanks, mate. The OEMID key did it for Mobile Connect version 4.0.0.6072. It baffles me that a high-specs 2016 Inspiron is not supported by Dell, yet it runs Windows 11 Beta just fine.

It’s not about “system specs”, it’s about locking down their software to try to get people to buy dell stuff. Dell mobile connect is free so they have no incentive to let anyone who isn’t a dell customer use it.

Thanks, this works great! i downloaded from the store and install without any issues.

Is it possible to reverse the changes made if another program stops working because of it? Like making a copy of the reg being changed as a backup somewhere for example

Is it possible? Yes. Do I know how? No

I’d look into the windows REG command since that’s what’s being used here

Hey! I just want to let you know that for me, I was able to get everything working by doing the following:
Run: REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Store" /v OEMID /f /t REG_SZ /d DELL in powershell

OR

Set the registry manually by opening RegEdit and going to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Store" and creating/editing a string key named "OEMID" and setting its value to "DELL".

Next, I went on my phone and looked up Dell Mobile Connect on google and "purchased" it.
I then went back on my PC and went to Microsoft Store Library and installed the app through the store.

Lastly, I opened the now installed app and set it up exactly as it says.
It even allows me to control my phone! (You have to click install driver once you mirror for the first time)

I hope this helps people!

P.S. This was done on a Custom Built Desktop and a Lenovo Laptop. On the Lenovo, the 'StoreContentModifier' was set to "Lenovo3_Idea" HOWEVER, This does NOT seem to affect the Dell Mobile Connect app what so ever. I simply added "OEMID" to "DELL" along side it.

@RyanTheTechMan Would this also work for the Alienware Mobile Connect which is essentially the same just different skin? (If not could you please send me a revised version [Sense I'm guessing it wouldn't be much different] that works with the Alienware Mobile Connect.) Also, does this have any other effect on my computer? Like if I go to settings>about would it say I have a Dell? Or is it just tricking the Microsoft store app? Please get back to me ASAP

I haven’t used the Alienware one but I believe you’d need to change it a bit. The end of line 4 says “dell xps”, I remember seeing older methods that set it to Alienware or something similar. Though it what @RyanTheTechMan is true, it might not matter.

@yodaluca23 Alienware Mobile Connect should work, though I am unsure if it would require a different registry key that I don't know. As you said, it's just a different skin so overall it wouldn't really matter in the end.

From what I can tell this does absolutely nothing other than allowing you to download "Dell only apps" from the Microsoft Store. For me, it hasn't affected my PCs in any way.

I believe it’s only changing the couple registry keys that dell mobile connect checks. I didn’t write this, I only fixed it up. I’d check the article I sourced it from.

For me, it seems to only check the OEMID. Either way, if you run the main script or configure it manually it should work in the end :)

Just for the record This: https://gist.github.com/HexCodeFFF/5b353e0a50cd5fec268a86346d838704#gistcomment-3935688
Does indeed work with Alienware Mobile Connect 👍

Glad it worked and we don’t have to figure out another way :)

Does this still work? Using a Lenovo ThinkPad, and I can open Dell Mobile Connect, but when I scan the QR code, I get "Unable to connect" "Please check your network connection and try again" on my iPhone 11.

@Invisible40, Try reinstalling the app on your phone. There is a chance it can setup wrong and break the app.

I've ran this and downloaded the app successfully from the store, however, when I run the app it says This device does meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.

Did you run the bat as admin? I believe you need admin to modify the registry

also it may just not work anymore, Dell could have changed stuff

Yeah, ran it as admin.

Hey, I decided to test it out on another PC I had. I am running the latest build of Windows 11 (22H2 (25158.1000)). It still works for me. I followed the same steps that worked before, and everything works as expected.

That worked for me, although I was greeted with the message that the app would be discontinued at the end of the year.

GREAT!

Hey, this is an FYI to everyone.
Microsoft is adding Phone Link support for the iPhone and it looks like a replacement for the Dell Mobile Connect. It appears to be a Windows 11 app only. It is only in the insider build at the moment. See more info here

Yea, I know I’m pretty excited, also I’ve been using Intel Unison instead of dell Mobile connect, it’s essentially the same thing, and it works on any computer…
