Windows 10: Reimporting pictures and videos from iPhone

Hi. I have been using File Explorer's Import Pictures and Videos to import pictures and videos from my iPhone since iPhone 4.Now I'm on Windows 11 and I'm having issues with importing pictures and videos for my iPhone again using File Explorer's Import Pictures and Videos once the device has been imported previously. How can I make Windows 11 forget it has imported those pictures and videos and reimport everything fresh again? Essentially have Windows 11 "forget" the device.It can be any connected device that requires importing pictures and videos, not just limited to an iPhone, so it's a more

Where from does MS ‘Photos’ takes pictures and videos taken by iPhone ?

Hi,

• 
  On my Desktop PC Windows 10 OS is installed.
  
  
  
• 
  My cellular phone is Apple iPhone 6s.
  
• 
  I photographed on it thousands of pictures and videos.
  
• 
  By mistake, after purchasing the iPhone, I didn’t change the default settings:
  
  ‘Settings’ > ‘Photos and Camera’ > ~ Improve the performance of storage in the iPhone
  
• 
  To be:
  
  ‘Settings’ > ‘Photos and Camera’ > ~ Upload and keep the original files
  
• 
  The result is:
  
  • 
    Pictures and Videos are kept in the original size / volume on Apple’s iCloud.
    
  • 
    Pictures and Videos are compressed
    by the iPhone OS – on the phone itself (iOS 10.2.1).
    
  • 
    That is for the purpose of saving memory usage.
    
    
    
• 
  Now I would like to backup all taken by the iPhone on to my MS PC
  
  = in the original, full size !
  
  
  
• 
  On my MS PC I see the ‘Photos’ application that is included in Windows 10.
  
• 
  I don’t know that application and I never used it.
  
• 
  Lately I noticed that in the Photos tile, located in the Start-Up menu, Photos located in the PC hard drive and also others, taken by the iPhone, appear automatically !!!
  
• 
  Opening the ‘Photos’ application >>> a mix of the above is seen.
  
• 
  I don’t remember that I changed any relevant settings while installing Windows 10 OS.
  
• 
  Also: I didn’t ever Installed or Connect my PC to MS OneDrive.
  
  
  
• 
  >>> How can I know from where the pictures are taken into ‘Photos’ ??? !!!
  

• • 
    Directly from the iPhone = Compressed, or
    
  • 
    From the Apple iCloud = with the original’ full size
    
    
    
• 
  >>> Where and how can I set definitions / settings about the sources that ‘Photos’ will use to get pictures and videos ?
  
  
  
• 
  >>> Is the idea to back up iPhone stuff to MS PC hard drive using ‘MS Photos’ a good one – or you suggest a better way ?
  

Many Thanks,



Adar.

Iphone Picture/Videos backed up

I have Windows 10 and I would like to back up my pictures/videos to my computer and and external drive from my Iphone. What is the best way to do it? I have tried directly tapping into my Iphone when it is connected to my computer but it does some of the
picture and some of the videos. Never all of them. Also when I go see what has been copied I cannot see the picture all of the time. It is really weird. Nothing is consistent. I get a copy error message when it gets to the last two folders it is trying to
copy from my Iphone. I have tried copying it to the external drive and I have tried to copy it to my computer. No luck. Any suggestions on what to do?
