iPhone To Windows file transfer - A step by step tutorial for configuring an SMB network connection
***UPDATE JAN-24***
There are a few different ways to setup a Windows login method(e.g., PIN login). Unfortunately, this procedure only works with Windows UserID/pw login method.
***UPDATE AUG-23***
Replaced my Asus Router with Netgear Nighthawk. So I'm back to using this iPhone to PC file transfer method. I find that my home network sometimes drops my iPhone connect to server link, so when this happens I reconnect to my PC from my iPhone. This is a bit of a drag, but is still much better than other methods I have tried.
***UPDATE DEC-22***
Replaced my NetGear Router with an Asus Router. Discovered that the Asus Router does not support SMB protocol from iPhone Connect to server. So have gone back to iPhone-MAC AirDrop. Please note that this solution is limited to routers that support SMB protocol.
*************************************************************************************************************
I've been doing SMB (Server Messenger Block) file transfers from my iPhone to Win11 for a while. SMB is a network transfer protocol provided in Windows (so there is no 3rd party software or web sites needed for this network configuration). In this video, I walkthrough the "1 Time" setup items for enabling an SMB client on a Windows 11 PC.
Note: The same steps can be applied to Win10 (you'll just need to follow Win10 navigation paths to the same settings I show in this video).

***LESSONS LEARNED***
From time to time you may need to reboot your router, when you do this a new ip address will be assigned to your PC. So you'll need to remove the "old" ip address from your iPhone and then just "connect to server" with the newly assigned ip address.
I've also noticed when transferring larger files (like a 4k vid clip) you need to be physically close to the router for a successful transfer.
Photos have been OK to transfer from anywhere within range of the router.
And If you add a new shared folder to your Desktop, you'll need to "refresh" the SMB connection on your iPhone. You refresh the iPhone SMB connection by removing the "connect to server" ip and then do "connect to server" with same ip. The new shared folder on your Desktop should now appear on your iPhone.
