Steps
Pair your keyboard and mouse first. Open Settings, go to Connected devices, tap Pair new device and select each accessory. A USB-C hub works too if your keyboard and mouse use a dongle.
Open Settings and look for Display. On Motorola tablets the PC Mode toggle usually sits here or in a separate PC Mode section further down the same menu.
Turn on PC Mode. The screen switches to a desktop layout with a taskbar along the bottom and your apps laid out as icons.
Add a quick settings shortcut so you can switch back and forth. Pull down the notification shade twice, tap the edit or pencil icon and drag the PC Mode tile into your active tiles.
Open apps from the taskbar or the app drawer. Each one opens in its own window instead of filling the whole screen.
Manage windows with the small handle at the top of each one. Drag it to move the window, or drag the corner to resize it.
Multitask by keeping several windows open at once, such as a browser beside a notes app. Tap the taskbar buttons to bring a window to the front.
Use the trackpad or mouse for right-click menus, scrolling and dragging. On a keyboard case, check Settings for pointer speed and tap-to-click options.
Adjust the PC Mode settings to suit you, such as taskbar position, window behaviour and which apps appear in the taskbar.
To leave PC Mode, tap the PC Mode tile in quick settings again or turn the toggle off in Settings. Your tablet returns to the normal tablet layout.
Tips and common mistakes
Pair the keyboard and mouse before switching modes so the desktop appears with working input.
Some Android apps refuse to resize and will open full screen, which is normal rather than a fault.
Keep the tablet on charge for long sessions, since running several windows drains the battery faster.
PC Mode runs Android apps in windows, so Windows programs like desktop Excel will not install.
Questions
Can I use PC Mode without a keyboard?
You can switch it on and tap around with your fingers, but the desktop layout is much easier to use with a keyboard and mouse or a trackpad case.
Does PC Mode turn the tablet into a full laptop?
No. It changes how apps are displayed and arranged, but you are still running Android apps, not Windows software.
Why can't I find the PC Mode toggle?
Check for a system update first, since the option can move between Display and a dedicated PC Mode section depending on the software version.
