I am pretty new at photography. I have a Nikon D7200. How do I transfer my photos to my PC?
There are a huge number of ways to achieve this and a lot of photo processing software will do it for you. Assuming a Windows 10 PC, probably the simplest to start with, is remove the memory card from the camera, insert into your PC if you have a card reader slot, and 'open' the memory card as a disc in File manager or 'This PC'. [* If you do not have a card reader on your PC then buy a compatible USB card reader. I suggest a USB 3 reader as the upload will be faster.]
I don't know Nikon file structure but there will be a number of folders which you can view to find where the images have been stored.
Also, assuming the images are JPEG you can view a thumbnail of the images on the card in the file manager (if not visible just right click in a blank space of the folder, then select View>Large icons.)
This makes the files on the memory card visible and available.
To copy to the PC you need to select a location to copy them to. Simplest is the local folder Pictures (click Start icon, then a location 'Pictures' should be one of the icons. Click that. You then have 2 locations open, the memory card and the Pictures folder.
Now just copy from one to the other. You can drag and drop single or multiple files.
This will get you started, but if you get 'hooked' on photography you will very soon need some organisation method to manage the high number of images you want to copy and keep. Simply creating a folder structure in Pictures with location and/or date will do for a while. But before long you will want to consider an image import/ managing application and a suitable structure for long term storage and access which caters for location, date, people, etc (the classic filing dilemma - do I save this under 'beach' or 'family' or 'Joe' or 'Jane' or 'Holiday' or .... ? The more elegant solutions (and typically more costly) allow you to tag and subsequently search for whatever you have defined.
Variations:
* depending on which version of Windows, 'This Computer' could be a different name
* typically when you insert a memory card for the first time, Windows will prompt for you to select the default action. I suggest 'open in a folder for viewing' (or similar.
