upgrade windows home to windows pro
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.

Forgive me, but isn’t sharing files between pc and an iPhone and remotely accessing a windows computer, two totally different things?
To share files between iPhone and pc you just plug in a usb cable and or use iTunes.
To remotely access a pc there are web services like gotomypc.com (among others) and software services like vnc (among others).
Thanks. I've done the iTunes thing & find it cumbersome. Remote-sharing apps require that the OS permit remote sharing. W11 home version doesn't.
Microsoft Remote Desktop requires Winodws * pro, but Windows File Sharing doesn't.
Ooooh, I didn't know about that. Thanks!
