Using iCloud is one of the easier and more official ways to transfer files between an iPhone and almost any other platform, including Windows. To transfer photos from your iPhone to your PC when you don't have the iCloud Photos option enabled, you'll have to use the Photos app or File Explorer on Windows. If you're automatically uploading your iPhone photos to iCloud, Apple suggests using iCloud to download photos to your PC instead. This only works when you don't have the iCloud Photos option enabled on your iPhone.

If you want to transfer photos from your PC to your iPhone using iTunes, then try the following. So make sure the apps that you'll use to work on those files are present on your iPhone. You'll have to associate them with an app. The same goes for files that you want to move to your iPhone. Unfortunately, you can only transfer files that are associated with an app to your PC. This will open the file browser - select the file, and it'll appear on your iPhone. If you want to transfer a file from your PC to your iPhone, select the app you want to associate it with and click on Add File.It'll ask for a location to save it on your PC - select the location, and you're done.
