documentation for more information. For this exercise, however, we just want to transfer files,
so click “Connect without setting up your device”.

====== Windows 10 and the Creator's Update ======

It was discovered that an update of Windows 10, dubbed the "Creators Update", can cause connectivity to Windows Mobile Device Center connectivity to no longer work.  Please see [[http://comfiletech.com/blog/windows-10-creators-update-windows-mobile-device-center/|this post]] for a remedy.
