Backing up Photos on iPhone 5 to laptop issue

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

I am trying to copy over and store all of the photos on my mothers iPhone 5 to her Windows laptop. iCloud's free 5Gb isn't enough to go that route. She has about 17Gb of pics and vids.

So I hook up the phone to her laptop. Enable the 'Trust'. I then locate the DCIM folder in the phone. I do a CTRL A to select all the folders which have the photos and movies in, I create a folder on the laptop 'Desktop' I then open it and paste the copied info. Of the maybe 30 folders with pictures and vids in it only 6 folders end up copied and then it quits I've repeated this method several times with the same outcome. Anyone have an idea as to what's stopping all the info to be copied to the laptop?

I just copied a bunch of images and videos off of my iPhone 5 onto my Windows 7 computer. I only had three folders in the phone's internal storage main folder so I went into each folder and CTRL+A & CTRL+X to cut them into the folder on the computer. Worked like a charm.

Yeah, I know, I don't understand why it isn't copying all the folders. Only 6 out of the maybe 25-30

I wonder if Apple is trying to force the use of iCloud

Use a proper importing program like Windows Live Photo Gallery.
