No inteface adapters are required to adapt Lightning to USB - as your iPad has a USB-C connection.


If your Windows PC doesn’t have a USB-C port, but instead uses the older USB Type-A connections, then you simply need a USB-C to USB3 Type-A cable - with which to directly connect the USB-C port on your iPad Pro 11” to your PC.


These cables are readily available from many retailers, but here is a cable manufactured by Mophie - and marketted by Apple - which is guaranteed to be electrical compatible. The cable is available in both 1m (3’) and 2m (6’) options:
