Well, I don't know how, but I somehow paired my old laptop with windows 10 with my Iphone via bluetooth. That means my laptop has automatically transferred the photos from my iphone to windows photos with bluetooth. Unfortunately, I don't know how I did it anymore and now I have a new laptop and I would love to have it that way again. Does anyone have any idea how this works?
I'm assuming your old computer had iTunes and iCloud Photos installed. The images were then probably automatically downloaded to your computer via the cloud. I don't even know about Bluetooth that it happens automatically. It is best to download iTunes from the Apple website and install the iCloud functions at the same time. VG
