12. Apple iPhone (Image) Back-Up To Google Drive On Dell Computer

Okay then, you most likely have an iPhone charger with a power/communications cable.

Plug one end (with the smaller connector) of that cable into your iPhone and then unplug the other end (typically USB) and connect it directly to a similar USB port on your Dell computer.

Now you will have your Apple iPhone connected directly to your Dell computer.

Of Some Note Here: You can install and remove your iPhone cable WITHOUT consulting that pesky (Windows) "Safely Remove"...message.

Watch on your Apple iPhone for a pop-up message asking: "Trust This Computer?". Then click "Trust" and you will be asked to enter your iPhone passcode (on your iPhone)...now enter your iPhone passcode.

Watch on your Dell computer monitor for a pop-up message "Add Apple iPhone" then click "Add device" but be quick (here), as the message will disappear; however, if you miss the context, just disconnect your USB cable from the USB port on your Dell computer and then re-connect that same cable into the USB port - and that message will now repeat (itself).

Watch on your Dell computer monitor for a Google Drive pop-up, then select either "Back up to Google Drive" OR select "Back up to Google Photos". There will also be an "Options" selection wherein you can learn more.

As I have "Google Drive" on all my devices, I would select "Back up to Google Drive" and then select "Save" (to my Google Drive).

Once your images are resident on your (very own) Google Drive, you may do with them as you please.

To view those freshly uploaded images, open "File Explorer" on your Dell computer and...

...I will stop here, as you just this moment stated you can view those images on your Dell computer.

Enjoy your afternoon/evening CaliforniaPeggy.
