You will then see the following prompt appear in the top corner asking you what action you would like to do with the camera / memory card - choose the option Import photos and videos

Click Continue to proceed

 

 

N.B. Note if the above prompts don't appear then open the Photos app from the Start Menu and click Import in the top right corner
