Step 1. Connect your iPhone to your laptop running Windows 7 and later. Then run EaseUS MobiMover, and choose "Phone to PC" on the left side panel. Then, click the "Next" button to continue.

Step 2. Choose "Pictures" to transfer photos and albums from iPhone to your HP laptop. You can click "Custom Path" to set the storage path for exported files. Otherwise, MobiMover will save the images on your desktop by default.

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 to import photos from an iPhone to an HP laptop. It can also transfer photos from iPhone to Sandisk that 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.

Step 5. Choose to transfer all photos or specific pictures from your iPhone to the HP laptop.

If Photos is not working on your laptop, you can either follow the troubleshooting guide to fix the issue or try one of the other proven ways to get your iPhone photos onto an HP computer.

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."

Step 3. Here you can see all folders that contain your iPhone photos.

Step 4. Copy your iPhone photos to the HP computer.

How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to HP Laptop Wirelessly

The three solutions above all require a USB cable to work. But there are times when you don't have a USB cable available. How can you transfer iPhone photos to an HP laptop wirelessly? The answer is to use cloud-based services, including iCloud, Google Drive, Google Photos, OneDrive, etc. To apply one of such services, you need to make sure there is a stable network connection on both devices and there is enough cloud storage to store your iPhone photos. Let me take iCloud as an example.

To upload iPhone photos to an HP laptop wirelessly:

Step 1. Enable iCloud Photos on your iPhone from Settings.

Step 2. Run iCloud for Windows on your HP computer.

Step 3. Click "Options" next to "Photos" and enable "iCloud Photo Library."

Step 4. Make sure the "Download new photos and videos to my PC" is turned on. If you need to change the location of uploaded photos, tap on "Change" under this option to set another storage path for your iPhone photos.

Step 5. Then your iPhone photos will be copied to your HP computer when there is WiFi available.

If you need to transfer photos from iCloud to iPhone, you also need to turn on the iCloud Photo Library option on your computer or the iCloud website.

Can You AirDrop from iPhone to HP Laptop

Some users may intend to AirDrop photos from an iPhone to an HP laptop. However, AirDrop is only available on Apple devices, like iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. Thus, you can't AirDrop photos or other types of files from an iPhone to an HP computer.

In Conclusion

There are both wired and wireless solutions for you to transfer photos from an iPhone to an HP laptop. All of them are also applicable to importing iPhone videos to an HP computer. A way like EaseUS MobiMover is also useful when you need to copy other types of files between an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and a computer, regardless of its brand. Get it now and it won't let you down.
