Hello! My name is Cristiano. I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you.
It sounds like you've already tried a couple of methods, but let's see if we can get it working. First of all, make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS, and that your Windows computer is updated to the latest version of Windows.
Here are the steps to connect your iPhone to Windows:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone, and go to "General".
- Scroll down to "AirPlay & Handoff" (it may be labeled "AirPlay & HomeKit" depending on your iOS version).
- Turn on "AirPlay & Handoff".
- On your Windows computer, open the Microsoft Store and search for "Your Phone Companion - Link to Windows". Install the app if you haven't already.
- Open the Your Phone Companion app on your iPhone.
- Sign in to your Microsoft account.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your iPhone to your Windows computer.
If you're still having trouble, you can try restarting both your iPhone and Windows computer, and then try again. You can also check that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
I hope this helps.
