Windows 10: Permission for phone link to get text messages

Both Phone Link and Link to Windows installed on HP PC, Windows 10 and android A51. Connection made and PC receives notices of youtube videos, etc. Cannot get messages feature to work, which is what I really want to use. Permissions are granted on android, in Phone Link, but it still wants permission from phone. Click button to send notice for permission to android, nothing happens. Below from Phone Link. All permissions under Messages are On. How to fix?

How to send an email that a phone receives as a text?

At my office, we want to have the ability to communicate with our electricians who are fairly low tech people. They don't check emails often, but text messaging would work fine for our need. I know with Verizon and Sprint you can using the text messaging app on the phone to text an email, and then if you reply to say L: 9995724770@VTEXT.COM that email will go to the phone as a text message.

Short of having all the electricians text an email to get these addresses, is there an easier way to go about this? I've never really dealt with mass texting before. Is say a Droid phone capable of sending a text to 40 people?

 

MS app for 10, Your Phone not copying clickable links in messages,

appears in the sent messages as only text.

See when you select to copy text in a browser, if there is a hyperlink, it will preserve it when pasted in another browser tab text box.

But with the Your Phone 10 app from MS, it is text only. Is there a setting for that, cause otherwise the phone app is not very useful to me. I just sent a forum message with a clickable link to a friend's phone, but comes out as text only. So then had to use the phone to share the link. So not useful if have to double the work, might as well just use the phone and not bother with windows linked to the phone.
