Many people have a lot of doubts in copying the files from Windows Phone to a PC. Usually we all expect a USB plug and play feature in a advance smartphone like Nokia Lumia 800. But unfortunately, this feature is not available in Windows Mobile 7.5. Yes, you have to install a separate software called Microsoft Zune to transfer data from your phone to pc, or vice versa. You can download Zune from the Official Site or Click here to Download directly. Zune is the only application to copy your data from Windows Phone to PC and from PC to Windows phone.

I cant transfer games from my lumia to pc
You can’t, there’s no way to do it.
I have downloaded zune on my windows 8 laptop. I have downloaded music on my Nokia lumia 900 wp7 phone. I am unable to transfer the music from wp7 to my laptop as zune does not show the downloaded music files. Will it work with a win7 laptop?
Yes, it should. Have you imported the music into Zune?
No. I have downloaded by an app called subsonic to my lumia 900. Is it possible to download music using zone in lumia instead of through zone in laptop.
