00:00All right, what's up Amayun and in this video I'm going to show you how to use Samsung Smart Switch
00:05on PCs.
00:06This is so you can create a backup of your Samsung phones on your laptops or PCs or desktops.
00:15First of all, search for Samsung Smart Switch, download, click on the first link and use the Microsoft Windows Store
00:22link to download.
00:24This won't open up the Microsoft Store, it will automatically download the exe file.
00:31Well, if you are using macOS, you can use the macOS download, but in my case I am using a
00:38Windows system, that is why I am using the Microsoft Windows Store link.
00:42This will download, say yes to the prompt and here we go, the installer begins.
00:48This will continue installing Samsung Smart Switch.
00:51Keep in mind that you can also install it from the Microsoft Store, but I recommend using the web version
00:58because that's the best one.
01:01So, let's agree to the terms and conditions and click on next.
01:06Okay, now we wait for the installation to complete.
01:19So, the installation is now complete.
01:21Let's hit finish and this will open up Samsung Smart Switch application.
01:27Now, we have to wait for it.
01:29This will give us a notice and it will also check for updates because that file is not up to
01:34date.
01:35So, if you don't see anything, just open it up again and you will see the notice.
01:41Well, I am going to click on confirm.
01:44Now, you can see we have a Smart Switch update.
01:46Let's click on update.
01:48This will update several times, so don't worry about it.
01:51This updates like two to three times, maybe.
01:55Okay, now let's wait for the first update to be installed and this will give us another exe file or
02:03the installer file and this will install now.
02:08Just say yes to the prompt and this will begin the installer.
02:15Okay, the installer is doing its job and updating all the files of the previous installation.
02:34Okay, now the installation is complete and Smart Switch is updated.
02:39Let's hit confirm and we have another update.
02:42This is the second update after the first installation, so yep, it only updates about two times.
02:49First is an application update and the next is some component updates.
02:54Now, all we need to do is wait for the update to do its job and we will be right
02:58back.
03:08Okay, looks like the update is now complete.
03:10Let's click on the OK and this will open up our Smart Switch application.
03:17Okay, now we have the full up-to-date version of the Samsung Smart Switch.
03:21Let's hit confirm and we won't see any notices again, hopefully.
03:26Now, let's check some settings before we connect our device.
03:28So, in the preferences, there is a, you can click the backup file wherever you want.
03:35You can install the latest software, but yep, you can change the location later or right now, however you prefer.
03:44We can check for updates once more.
03:47Yep, looks like we have the latest version, no more updates.
03:52And also, we can install emergency software recovery and reinstall USB drivers.
03:57I highly recommend that you reinstall USB drivers because sometimes those previous USB drivers are corrupt and this fixes all
04:05of the USB related problems.
04:07And this is a very crucial setup because if you do not have proper Samsung USB drivers, your backup might
04:13get, you know, deleted or got corrupt or might be interrupted.
04:18So, I highly recommend that you reinstall the USB driver like I am doing right now.
04:25And then we can continue making a backup for our phone.
04:36Okay, so the Samsung USB drivers are now reinstalled completely, which means we won't get any more problems with the
04:44USB connection.
04:46Nothing else to see here.
04:48Now, let's go ahead, take our phone and connect it with our computer.
04:59Okay, now it is asking for USB file transfer.
05:02Let me allow it on my phone and now I need to download the smart switch app on the phone.
05:09Okay, let's go ahead there and download it.
05:13Okay, so there are two ways to download the Samsung smart switch.
05:17Go to your Galaxy store or the Play store.
05:20Whichever one you prefer, I am going with the Play store version and search for smart switch and download the
05:26Samsung smart switch application.
05:29Now, let's wait for the download to complete and the installation will begin as soon as the download is complete.
05:35This is going to take a little bit of your time, so be patient on this one.
05:43Okay, so I skipped the installation.
05:45Let's open up the Samsung smart switch.
05:47Hit continue and we need to give it some permissions.
05:52Hit on allow and now it is ready to go.
05:54Now, all we need to do is connect our USB cable.
06:00If you have not connected it before, just connect it right there.
06:05This will show you the charging indicator and this will start connecting to your computer.
06:11This depends on your USB speed, so sometimes this does not take this much longer.
06:16In a few seconds and now you can see my phone is now connected to my laptop.
06:22And now, all we have to do is go back to our laptop and see what we need to do
06:27there.
06:30Okay, so my phone is now connected.
06:33If you click on device information, you will see everything that you need to know about your phone.
06:39There are some other options as well, but today we are going to make a backup of some system files.
06:45So, this is how you use Samsung smart switch.
06:48You create a backup and when you get your new device, just connect it to your laptop and click on
06:54the restore button.
06:55This will check for the backup file that you created previously, which I will show you right now.
07:02And this will restore your device onto the new phone, which is very amazing considering how many times...
07:09Oh, you get some problem here.
07:12You cannot collect data from WhatsApp, which means you have to manually backup WhatsApp.
07:19Yep, we know that because WhatsApp is encrypted and none other files can use that.
07:26However, this is how you create a backup of your phone.
07:30Let's see how this screen looks like on the phone.
07:34Well, making a backup is very recommended if you use Samsung phones a lot of the time and also cannot
07:41reset or set up your phones again and again.
07:44So, let's go ahead and check this screen on my phone, how the backup is made.
07:52Let me show you right now and this is my phone screen, once I was making the backup, this is
08:01how it looked like.
08:03Okay, the phone is connected and here we go.
08:12This is why all of your backup file was being created.
08:18Yep, the screen automatically dims after 30 seconds.
08:22Okay, that's been it.
08:23Thanks for watching and I will catch you guys in the next one.
08:25Take care.
08:26Bye-bye.
