Before installing CopyTrans Studio, it is important to ensure that your system is ready to go. CopyTrans Studio is designed to integrate your iPhone’s media directly into Windows Explorer, providing quick and seamless access to your photos, videos, and music. To ensure everything runs smoothly, we have prepared a list of technical requirements and compatibility information that you need to check: from your Windows version and iOS device to drivers, Internet connection, and data security.


What do I need to run CopyTrans Studio?

CopyTrans Studio is a Windows application that allows you to open media files from your iPhone directly in Windows Explorer, no additional applications or complicated setup required. To get started, you will need:

  • A Windows computer (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit version)

  • A compatible USB cable for the initial connection

  • A stable Wi-Fi connection if you want to switch to wireless later

Once connected, you can view, copy, and manage media files from your iPhone just like any other folder on your PC.


Windows OS Requirements

CopyTrans Studio is compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11.


Apple Devices and iOS Compatibility

CopyTrans Studio can read data from all Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, running iOS 10 or higher.

We recommend regularly updating your iOS to ensure the best experience with CopyTrans Studio.


iOS Drivers

Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) require special drivers to connect to a Windows PC. These drivers are typically installed automatically with iTunes. If you haven’t used iTunes or if the drivers weren’t installed properly, you can use our free tool to install iOS drivers without installing iTunes.


Internet Connection

An internet connection is not required to transfer files between your PC and iPhone if you’re using a USB cable. If you wish to use a wireless connection, ensure that Wi-Fi is enabled on both your PC and iPhone and that they are connected to the same network. For detailed instructions, refer to our guide on setting up a Wi-Fi connection between your iPhone and PC.


Security and Data Storage

All media data handled by CopyTrans Studio is stored locally on your devices and is not accessed by any software comYour media files belong to you, and will remain so. With CopyTrans Studio:

  • All files remain stored locally on your PC and iPhone

  • No photos, videos, or music are ever uploaded to CopyTrans servers

  • We do not collect, access, or transfer your personal data.

This ensures that your media files remain private, secure, and under your control.


Final Thoughts

If you have a PC with Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit version), an iPhone (or iPad/iPod) with iOS 10 or higher, the necessary drivers, and a USB cable for the initial connection, you are ready to use CopyTrans Studio. With it, you can quickly transfer photos and videos, and even enjoy the convenience of wireless connectivity.

And the best part? Everything stays secure on your devices, giving you freedom and peace of mind. So check your basic settings, connect your iPhone, and start exploring your media files in CopyTrans Studio, just like any other folder on your computer.
