Just because iPhones play better with MacBooks doesn't resulted in they can't work with Windows 10 laptops. Syncing your data requires a a bit more know-how on Windows 10 (instead of macOS' plug-and-play syncing, or how you can just drag and drop files with Android on Windows 10), however with a few clicks and a little patience, you'll have everything current.

Copying for an iPhone

Syncing music, photos, movies and TV shows means getting confident with iTunes. If you're already utilizing it, you're good to go. If you're not, you can download that and import your music by visiting File > Add Folder to Library to maneuver your current music into iTunes. Once you're prepared to sync, adopt these measures.

1. Connect your iPhone for your laptop having a Lightning cable.

2. Click Continue when asked when the computer might have access towards the phone.

3. Click on the phone icon within the top bar.

4. Click Sync.

This will sync the 2 devices. Whether it doesn't, visit the sidebar and enable the Sync checkboxes under Music, Apps, Movies, TV Shows and Photos and click Sync again.

For the way much data you're syncing, this might take awhile. Get a drink or a snack and are available back later.

5. Look at your photos, music, apps and videos to verify they arrived on the phone from Windows 10.

Copying From an apple iphone

This is where things get tricky. In an attempt to avoid piracy, syncing from an iPhone isn't as simple and sending data into it. Luckily, there are several workarounds.

Music and Movies: This prevents you stuck in Apple's wheelhouse. If you can move non-iTunes media files to your phone out of your PC, you cannot send them in the handset to the computer. However if you buy media from iTunes on your iPhone, you will get it on your hard drive via the cloud. So long as you maintain one Apple ID, you'll have the ability to download all your songs and movies again from iTunes on your computer at no extra cost.

Photos: To understand how you can import photos from an iPhone to Windows 10, see our guide here.

Files: The cloud is the friend for syncing files. While I personally use Dropbox, you may also use iCloud.

It's ideal for users who like Apple's software, including Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

If you're a Dropbox user, you should use the iPhone app and desktop app to view files or photos on either device. If you're a Google user, you can use Sheets, Slides and Docs.
