I have an iPhone X and recently upgraded to Windows 11. The pairing doesn't work. My phone reads the QRC, but doesn't find the computer. So, the Phone Link in Windows and the Link To Windows on the iPhone aren't working according to instructions.
iPhone X, iOS 16

lobsterghost1, Thanks for getting back; but I probably saw all this on my Windows 11. Much of their information presumes that the user is trying to pair an Android phone, not the iPhone. Their guidelines did not work since I tried to undertake this effort earlier this week.
If you follow the link that lobsterghost1 provided, it links to a Microsoft Support document. That one has both an Android section and an iOS section (see "tab" bar below the title).
Microsoft Support – Phone Link requirements and setup
This support page says that you can download the Link to Windows app for the iPhone, but it is "not required." However, Bluetooth communication (and Bluetooth Low Energy support on the PC) absolutely seems to be required.
The description of Microsoft's "Link to Windows" app for the iPhone says that it requires a PC "with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support …"
Does your PC have the necessary Bluetooth hardware?
You may need to seek help from Microsoft as Phone Link is their product, not Apples. Perhaps this link will help --> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sync-across-your-devices
Then you need to contact Microsoft directly. Again, Phone Link is their product, not Apples.
