This might be Techie or mobile phone

Options
I have recently acquired a laptop and found it easy when I wanted to transfer my photo's from my mobile phone to it, simply by removing the memory card, inserting it into a card reader and then the usb link. The pics which were on it came over,ok, but I noticed it was all those I had taken myself. Those which had been sent to me, had been saved to the memory stick and they didn't come over.

I opened each pic individually to see if it could be saved to phone but couldn't find the route.

I don't know anything about memory sticks.

I wondered about bluetoothing them across, but there must be something within
the laptop I haven't got. I then decided to email to myself, I managed one, but from then on, the phone kept asking for a password which I haven't got.

So what can I do please.

    Depending on the phone, you might be given an option when reading that MMS message to store the picture elsewhere, or move it to phone memory.

    You can pick up a bluetooth adapter for your laptop, enabling you to BT hem to yourself for free, even Tesco stock one:

    though it is rather large compared to more modern ones, and may not be the cheapest. Search for "Bluetooth adapter" or "Bluetooth dongle" when looking for one.

    Use Windows Explorer to browse all the folders on the memory stick.

    I seem to have lost the facility to save to choose either phone/memory stick in favour of the latter,
