Now Text From Your PC with Windows 10 Mobile Preview

Yes, this is true and is possible with the help of latest Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview. How to use the latest feature? For using the latest feature, a Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview device such as the Lumia 950 or Lumia 650 is required.

Moreover, we need to ‘turn on’ the “Send texts on all my Windows Devices” option in the settings app and this will be done on the handset under ‘Messaging everywhere (Beta)’.
