    Maybe because of this:
    Available on new Dell consumer XPS, Inspiron, Vostro, and Alienware PC’s starting in January 2018. iOS 10 and above. Android 5 and above.

    It works on Dell PCs shipped from Jan 2018 onwards. And even Alienwares.

    @Vasudev I'm pretty sure it will work on anything, as long as I'm able to install it. But I don't know how to bypass this compatibility filter. \=
