How to transfer a video from an iPhone to a computer using Microsoft Photos, according to Slashgear.
The first way to transfer a video from an iPhone to a computer is the simplest one. You don’t need to install an app or setup a cloud storage platform for this app. Alternatively, you can import the files from the Photos app on your Windows PC (via Microsoft). The Photos app comes pre-installed, which means it’s on every Windows laptop or desktop computer. And yes, this will be a wired transfer, so you’ll need a Lightning cable with the correct USB connector to connect it to your computer.
Unlock your iPhone.
Connect the Lightning cable to your iPhone and the other end to your computer.
Click Allow on the popup that says Allow this device to access your photos and videos.
On your PC, open the Start menu and select the Photos app.
Click Import and select From Connected Device.
From your iPhone select the “Choose a device to import from” prompt.
It may take a few moments for your computer to read the photos and videos on your iPhone. Once done, it will display the media files on your phone. Select the videos you want to import and choose where to save them on your computer. Finally, click the “Import Selected” button on the screen. Your computer will import the selected files within a few minutes.
