Uploading data from android to pc

Hi AlaynaHarstine,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

• Have you tried to connect the Android device to PC using an USB cable?
  

However, you may follow these steps to check if that helps:

• Connect the Android device to the PC using a micro USB cable.
  
• You can see an ‘AutoPlay popup’ on your PC once your phone is successfully connected and recognized by the computer. Click on the ‘Open folder to view files’ option.
  
• Copy and paste the files or folders that you want to recover from your phone's internal memory to your PC.
  
• When the steps are done, you can successfully recover and transfer your data from Android phone with broken screen to your PC.
  

Alternatively, if you have the data saved on an external SD card, then you can plug in the card to the PC to transfer the data. You may need an adaptor to read the SD card on the PC.

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

Casting Android phone to Windows 10 PC using Connect App

Hi Roasted715Jr,

The problem could be with the app itself. Have you tried reinstalling the app on both devices? See if an update is available for both devices. Please note that the Connect app uses the Miracast standard. Also, make sure that you have the latest updates installed
on your Windows 10 PC.

Please make sure to follow these steps to be able to get your Android device display to show up onto the Windows 10 PC:

1. On the Android device, locate the Screen Mirroring icon and tap on it.
2. The interface will show a list of existing or available devices that content can be cast to. In that same interface, tap on the
   More Settings button.
3. Locate and tap the button located in the upper right and is represented by three dots.
   
4. Make sure that the Enable wireless display option is checked. This will instantly put the Android device into detection mode and allow other devices to find it.
5. On your Windows 10 PC, launch the Connect app.
6. With the Connect app running, the PC should now be detected by the Android device. Tap on the PC name on the Android device to cast display across the Windows 10 PC.
   

Let me know how it turns out.
