fuck win10...tried to do my wife a favor and get all her iphone pics on to her HDD and windows 10 wouldn't see the phone as a storage device to do so (maybe there's a trick, dunno), but my win7 machine allowed me to see the folder on the phone and transfer the pics to my HDD, which I put on a thumb drive to transfer to hers...probably some function built into win10 under advice from those fuckers at apple...point being I love win7 and absolutely loathe win10...yeah, yeah, I know FUCK ALL WIN...if I was younger and less set in my ways I'm sure I'd be using linux
note that I stated I achieved my goal on win7...honestly I have no idea if the root of the issue is with win10 or the iphone...but, again, as noted I got win7 to see the DCIM (IIRC) folder and was able to copy all the photos and videos to my win7 machine

That's probably the fault of the iphone, not windows. I know I find iphones unusable because you can't put music files on them like a regular phone.

I have to use Apple at work. The devices often can't see each other, even on their own network.
These are the "high end" piles of scrap too...

Linux is as easy to install and use as windows. Point and click for everything, unless you want to learn and use the command line.

Just switch to linux, my whole family runs something with the KDE desktop, it's really easy switching from Windows.

You're doing in wrong. They're easy as pie to import OR to navigate to in Explorer like you claim isn't possible.
Your fail is neither Microsoft or Apple. Did you spend 15 seconds searching how to do it before grumbling and then doing it the hard way?
