It doesn\u2019t require any kind of \u201cdevice-to-device transfer\u201d from your iPhone; you just need your login details or activation code from your ExpressVPN account. Here\u2019s how to set it up:\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What You\u2019ll Need\n\n- The email address and password for your ExpressVPN account (the same one you used on your iPhone), or an **activation code** from your account dashboard. ([expressvpn.com](https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/app-for-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n- A valid ExpressVPN subscription. ([techradar.com](https://www.techradar.com/vpn/expressvpn-on-multiple-devices?utm_source=openai))  \n- Windows 10 or Windows 11 (or another supported version). ([expressvpn.com](https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/app-for-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd27 Steps to Set Up ExpressVPN on Windows\n\n1. Go to the ExpressVPN website (via your web browser) and log in to your account.\n\n2. Under the \u201cSet up\u201d or \u201cDownload apps\u201d section, choose **Windows**. This will provide you with:\n   - An installer file for Windows.  \n   - An *activation code*. ([expressvpn.com](https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/app-for-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n3. Download and install the ExpressVPN app.\n\n4. Launch the app. You\u2019ll be prompted to **sign in**. You\u2019ll have a few options:\n   - Sign in with **email + password**.  \n   - Use the **activation code** you copied from your account dashboard. ([expressvpn.com](https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/app-for-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n5. After signing in, set your preferences (protocols, auto-connect settings, server locations) and then connect to a VPN server. ([expressvpn.com](https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/app-for-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f Things to Check\n\n- **Device limit**: Your subscription might have a limit on how many devices can be connected simultaneously. If your limit is reached, you\u2019ll need to disconnect one device before you can add another. ([techradar.com](https://www.techradar.com/vpn/expressvpn-on-multiple-devices?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Subscription type**: Usually, once you buy ExpressVPN on any platform, you can use it across all supported platforms. But if you purchased via Apple\u2019s in-app purchase, double-check if your subscription type works for Windows. Contact support if in doubt.  \n- **Security features**: Some advanced features (like \u201cExpressVPN Keys\u201d \u2014 their password manager) may have separate setup but tie into the same overall account. ([expressvpn.com](https://www.expressvpn.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/ExpressVPN_Keys_Security_White_Paper.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOoqkhPnXw6179titnqEllcJgqNLeVPoZTzx_cSiFt3vVGXqlwCUE&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through the exact steps tailored to *your* Windows version (10 or 11), or check your subscription limits for you. Do you want me to do that?"
