How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to HP Computer Using Photos

The Photos app, pre-installed on Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows 8, is also a workable solution for importing photos from an iPhone to an HP laptop. It can also transfer photos from iPhone to Sandisk, which is connected to your computer. To use Photos to get things done, all you need is a USB cable that works properly.

However, there is a drawback that can't be ignored: you can only transfer photos and videos that are taken by your iPhone camera. That means the photos downloaded from the Internet or imported by other programs can't be transferred using Photos. If that doesn't bother you at all, follow the steps below to import photos from your iPhone to the HP laptop easily.

To upload photos from an iPhone to an HP laptop using Photos:

Step 1. Connect your iPhone to the HP laptop with a USB cable.

Step 2. Trust the computer and launch Photos.

Step 3. Click the "Import" button and choose to import from your iPhone.

Step 4. Wait for Photos to load all the photos and videos on your iPhone.

How to Import Photos from iPhone to HP Laptop via File Explorer

Another similar way to upload photos from an iPhone to an HP computer is using File Explorer. As long as the HP computer can recognize the iPhone successfully, you can download pictures from the iPhone to the computer using a USB cable. File Explorer is a good choice when you are looking to transfer all photos from your iPhone to the HP laptop at once.

However, File Explorer doesn't support other file types and disallows data transfer from PC to iPhone. That's why you can't transfer music from PC to iPhone without iTunes or sync messages from iPhone to PC with it.

Step 1. Connect your iPhone to the HP computer and make sure it is recognized.

Step 2. Go to "This PC" and go to "[your iPhone name]" > "Internal Storage" > "DCIM."
