How to Connect iPad Pro 11 to Windows PC?
Connecting your iPad Pro 11 to a Windows PC is relatively straightforward. You can use a USB cable to establish a physical connection between the two devices. Here's how to do it:
-
USB Cable: Ensure you have a Lightning to USB cable. This cable usually comes with your iPad Pro, but if you don't have one, you can purchase it separately.
-
USB Port: Locate an available USB port on your Windows PC. Most PCs have multiple USB ports available, usually on the front or back of the computer.
-
Connect iPad to PC: Plug one end of the Lightning to USB cable into the Lightning port on your iPad Pro 11, and the other end into the USB port on your Windows PC.
-
Trust This Computer: After connecting your iPad to the PC, you may see a prompt on your iPad asking if you "Trust This Computer." Tap "Trust" to establish the connection.
-
Open iTunes (Optional): If you want to transfer files, music, or manage your iPad's content using iTunes, you'll need to have iTunes installed on your Windows PC. Open iTunes if it doesn't launch automatically.
-
Accessing iPad on Windows Explorer (Windows 10 and later): For basic file transfers, you can also access your iPad's files directly through Windows Explorer. Once connected, your iPad should appear as a device in the "This PC" or "My Computer" section. Click on it to access its files.
-
Transfer Files: You can now transfer files between your iPad and PC by dragging and dropping them from one device to the other.
-
Eject Safely: After you finish transferring files or managing your iPad's content, safely eject your iPad from your PC. To do this, right-click on your iPad's icon in Windows Explorer and select "Eject."
