Ahoy! I want to share files between iphone & pc. I just discovered that W11 home edition doesn't allow remote access. Microsoft wants $99USD to upgrade to pro. Does anyone know of alternative means? Thanks.

Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS)

Alternatively to upgrading edition check out these apps:

KDE Connect is such a great tool, I discovered it with the steam deck and I'm still wondering how I didn't find out about it earlier

I tried MAS & got this error msg. Maybe I'll go offline, turn off antivirus, & try again. If I understand correctly, no remote-control apps will work unless that's enabled in Windows.

I disabled antivirus, tried again, and was told W11 home was already permanently activated. No upgrade-to-pro option. Oh, well.
