OK. If you really do have to plug in your — whether it's for piece of mind or just to move some photos or videos or whatever — this is probably the easiest way to do it.

Grab a micro USB cable — or if you're really lucky a USB Type C cable, perhaps — and plug on in. In Windows 10 you'll get to experience the relative joy that is the Windows 10 Phone Companion, which we've already detailed here.

For the most part, it's just there to get you to install some of Microsoft's apps on your Android phone. (And to be fair it's not too spammy about it.)

But really all you need to do is hop over to the venerable File Explorer. This is going to be the easiest way to see the accessible storage on your phone. Hit up the "This PC" section, then look for your phone.

You might need to change the USB connection on your phone to actually let Windows see inside it — look for "MTP" or "Computer transfer" or some other verbiage, it might vary a little depending on what you're using.

After that you can click through the file structure as before Point is, nothing's really changed here.
