The app for Amazon Alexa is limited exclusively to PCs sold through HP, Lenovo, and Acer, but you install it to any PC.
Dec 13, 2016 This helpful video will explain how to set up SYNC AppLink so you can control your vehicle's SYNC 3 and select smartphone apps using only your voice.Available feature shown.Don’t drive while. First of all, you’ll need to download the MyFord Mobile app and setup your vehicle (in our case, the Ford Fusion Energi Titanium) with the app. This actually takes 24 hours to complete and get full access to everything that the app can do.
As usual, there are some caveats, but for those who want a peek at what Alexa can do you for you on the go, this is what you need to get started.
Amazon Alexa is currently a single executable file called 'Alexa_App_for_PC_Installer_1_2_9' at 134MB in size.
- Install the app and follow prompts.
- Launch app from Start menu.
- Log in using your Amazon account.
- Those outside the U.S. may need to change system language.
- Optionally enable 'Launch app on sign into this computer' under Alexa settings for auto-start feature.
Installation of the app will automatically grab Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 if your PC does not already have it loaded.
Presumably, newer versions of Alexa will become available. This version we are providing is version 1.2.9.115 (Shopping assistant v1.0.200243.0).

It is unclear if the app will auto-update itself or a new installer will have to be provided later.
What works and what doesn't
Unless your PC is officially supported (unlikely) and you have custom firmware for Alexa (also questionable) the feature for Wake word which lets you call Alexa via voice will not work. That means to use Alexa on PC you need to press the blue Alexa button in the app manually.

Other than the 'wake word' limitation everything else behaves just as Amazon had planned it for PC users. Here is a short list of things that you can try with Alexa:
If you already use Microsoft's Cortana around 90 percent of this will be redundant except for shopping on Amazon, using Amazon skills (third-party apps) and playing Amazon Music.
