Hello Gizmo64,


Congrats on your new iPad! It sounds like you want to transfer filed from your iPad to your PC. We understand how important this is to you and we are here to help.


Your iPad comes with a USB-C cable. If your PC comes with a USB-C port you can connect it directly to your PC. If your PC has a USB-A port you would need a USB-C to USB- A cable like the one found here: mophie USB-A Cable with USB-C Connector 


Cheers!
