To Windows 2021 — Airdrop
Microsoft has not ignored the need for connectivity. The "Phone Link" app (formerly Your Phone) is pre-installed on Windows 11. While it works best with Samsung Android devices, it does offer limited iOS functionality.
While not a direct "beaming" service like AirDrop, the official iCloud for Windows app is the most reliable way to keep your entire library in sync. By enabling iCloud Photos, any picture you take on your iPhone will automatically download to a designated folder in your Windows File Explorer. airdrop to windows
