Thanks for all the input. Some of it strayed to Macs but I asked about PCs, Windows machines. I’ll try the USB connection method, see what happens. I watched a video that said you have to change the Windows driver for the iPhone so it wouldn’t try to use iTunes, so that Windows would use a more generic driver that would see the iPhone as just another USB devise. It seems that some responders have not had to do this, just plug in the iPhone and you’re good to go. Thanks again.
"driver" or app that opens when you connect a device? I would assume the latter.... when you connect a device to a computer (windows or mac) there is an assigned app that opens to deal with it... like assigning a file extension preference to open specific apps based on the file extension of the file being opened...
Basically, Windows may default to iTunes when an iPod, iPad or iPhone gets connected, but the user is in complete charge of setting which app to open to deal with the particular device. FWIW - I switched from Windows to Linux, years ago, then from Linux to OS X.
