Overview

Windows is the most popular desktop operating system in the world

There are lots of people who use both Windows 10 on a PC and an

iPhone or iPad.

Today's Microsoft is accommodating to most platforms, so regardless

of your preference, they've got solutions for you.

In this guide we're specifically looking at how to get your photos from

your iPhone or iPad over to your Windows 10 computer.

1. Import all photos using

Phone Companion app

The Phone Companion app is new from Microsoft for Windows 10. Much

of it is geared at helping Windows users on iPhone, iPad or Android find

their way with Microsoft services on each respective platform. What the

Phone Companion app can also do is help you to quickly import your entire

photo library from your phone to your computer.

Plug your iPhone or iPad in to your Windows 10 machine using the regular

microUSB cable. If the Phone Companion app doesn't launch, go into the

Start Menu and select it. When it opens you'll see the screen above, with

some Microsoft apps and services above some information about your

phone. For what we want here you'll need to seek out the "Import photos

and videos into the Photos app" option highlighted.

2. Using File Explorer

If you don't want to do a blanket import (or, even if you do) there's File

Explorer at your disposal. Unlike with Android phones, for example,

the iPhone doesn't allow you to access anything but your photos through

File Explorer. As such finding what you want is incredibly easy.

You can either open File Explorer and find your iPhone listed under

"Devices and drives" or by clicking "Transfer other files" in the Phone

Companion app. In this case, there are no other files. Once you've

clicked on your iPhone you'll see the "DCIM" folder that houses all

your photos.

3. Using the cloud

The great thing about Windows 10 is that there will be a solution for most

people even if Microsoft isn't the direct supplier of it. The cloud is one of

these situations. One Drive is baked into Windows 10 but you can just as

easily use other alternatives, like Dropbox, or Apple's own iCloud, for

example.

What's also great about each of these services is that your photos can

upload to the cloud in the background and then, providing you're

syncing those folders to your PC, they'll just appear. Like magic.
