Windows 10: How to copy my pictures from the MS Photo app to my iPhone?

How to copy my pictures from the MS Photo app to my iPhone?

:)

 

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.
