Method 2:
If you are to use a Windows PC to keep copies of the photos you have taken in your iPhone, then you will probably find it easy to do so. Windows supports direct sync or transfer for your photos from your iPhone, and it applies to any of your iOS devices as well.
Step 1. Connect your iPhone to your PC. It is preferred that you use the USB cable that came with your iPhone’s original packaging so as to avoid any hardware problems or issues that may arise during transfer or sync. Once your iPhone is connected, an AutoPlay window will appear, prompting you to choose among the different options available for your iPhone. In this case, under Device options, we will select Import pictures and videos.
Step 2. From this point onwards, Windows will guide you and before the syncing starts, you will be asked to select the photos, and even videos, that you would want to store in your PC. After making your selection, Windows will start transferring or syncing your photos along with your selected videos, if there are any, to your computer.
Step 3. Windows also gives you an additional option to erase the photos and videos you have selected after you’ve imported them to your computer. To avail of this feature, simply tick the only checkbox you see in the window displaying the status of your syncing or importing.
Step 4. Once all your photos, along with your videos, have been synced, you may now carefully disconnect your iPhone from your PC.
