Using a USB Cable<\/strong><\/h4>Using a USB cable is one of the fastest and most reliable ways to transfer your photos directly from an iPhone to a Windows laptop. Here\u2019s how you can do it step by step:<\/p>
- Step 1: Connect Your Devices<\/strong>
Start by connecting your iPhone to your Windows laptop using a Lightning-to-USB cable. Make sure you\u2019re using a cable that is in good condition to avoid connectivity issues.<\/li>- Step 2: Unlock Your iPhone<\/strong>
Unlock your iPhone by entering your passcode or using Face ID\/Touch ID. If prompted, tap \u201cTrust This Computer\u201d<\/strong> on your iPhone. This step allows your laptop to access the files on your iPhone.<\/li>- Step 3: Open File Explorer<\/strong>
On your laptop, open File Explorer<\/strong>. You can do this by clicking the folder icon in the taskbar or pressing Win + E<\/strong> on your keyboard. Look for your iPhone listed under \u201cDevices and Drives\u201d<\/strong> in the left-hand navigation pane or under \u201cThis PC.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>- Step 4: Locate the DCIM Folder<\/strong>
Double-click your iPhone\u2019s icon to access its internal storage. Navigate to the DCIM<\/strong> folder (short for Digital Camera Images). Inside, you\u2019ll find subfolders that store your photos and videos. These subfolders are typically organised by date or album.<\/li>- Step 5: Transfer Your Files<\/strong>
Select the photos and videos you wish to transfer. You can do this by holding down the Ctrl<\/strong> key on your keyboard and clicking the desired files, or pressing Ctrl + A<\/strong> to select all files. Once selected, right-click and choose Copy<\/strong>, then paste them into a folder on your laptop by right-clicking and selecting Paste<\/strong>.

- Use a High-Quality Cable: If the connection keeps dropping, switch to an official or certified Lightning cable.<\/li>
- Backup Important Files: Consider creating a backup of your photos on an external hard drive or cloud storage for added security.<\/li><\/ul>
This method is ideal for quick, one-time transfers and doesn\u2019t require an internet connection or additional software. If you experience any issues, try restarting both devices or updating iTunes on your Windows laptop.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
