Syncing Iphone to a New Computer, What to do...

Hello.

So I have an Iphone 6, a Macbook Pro with which the phone is originally synced to, and a PC running windows. I want to sync my iphone to my PC. What would I lose in the process? How can I sync my iphone to my PC without losing content? Im a bit familiar with Homesharing, but it seems like that is solely for music/apps. I really want to make sure I keep my photos/videos. Any suggestions, advice, comments?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.3

Instead of viewing your iPhone as the stable element here that should retain its content when changing underlying computers, I suggest you view the computers as the stable element that need to be preserved.

For example, you should move your iTunes library from the Mac to the PC:

Do the same with the photos / videos. Your iPhone may help you do that as shown here:
