Before we dive in, a quick note: When I first used Huawei, I also didn't know how to connect it to a PC. It works a bit differently from other Android phones, but Way 1 and Way 2 will show you how.
Now, let's get down to business. As a senior Huawei mobile enthusiast, I have tried a lot of tools for transferring photos and managing mobile phones, but there is one utility that fascinated me. It is MobiKin Assistant for Android, a good keeper of Huawei and other Android phones. Well, you may ask: what's it for? That is a good question.
There're why MobiKin Assistant for Android draws me:

Many people have opted for it; what are you waiting for?
Here's how to transfer photos from a Huawei phone to a PC using MobiKin Assistant for Android:
> Step 1. Connect Huawei to PC with a USB cable, and enable USB debugging on Huawei device. (If you don't want to execute "Huawei USB transfer", you can also connect Android phone with Wi-Fi.)
> Step 2. Follow the prompts of the program to make the connection successful. Once connected, you might see the following interface.
> Step 3. Hit "Photos" from the left sidebar, and choose pictures that you want to transfer by ticking the corresponding checkboxes. Next, press "Export" on the top menu to transfer photos from Huawei to PC.
#2: How to Transfer Pictures from Huawei Phone to Computer with Huawei HiSuite
Huawei HiSuite is a mobile management tool launched by Huawei for its most smartphones. It can help Huawei mobile users manage the synchronization of the phone data like pictures, contacts, SMS, and others. It is this function that sends Huawei photos to a computer. Additionally, you can also log in to Huawei App Store or Music Store to do other operations.
Instructions on how to transfer pictures from Huawei to PC:
> Step 1. Plug your Huawei phone to PC with a USB cord and enable USB debugging on your mobile. Then press "Backup" to choose your desired photos to backup.
> Step 2. Locate or create a folder to save your images and press "Back up" again to transfer your photos from Huawei to PC (Of course, if you want to recover your photos to Huawei mobile, hit "Restore" to find pictures and tap the icon again to recover them.)
To enable USB debugging, Huawei P9 is a special case: Go to Settings > System > About phone > Tap Build number 7 times. Then navigate to Settings > System > Developer options > Select USB configuration. Don't touch MTP but press MIDI.
#3: How to Transfer Photos from Huawei P Smart to PC with Huawei Share
Want to transfer photos from Huawei to PC with Huawei Share? Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are two required elements for Huawei file transfer, which are automatically turned on when you enable Huawei Share. Before the transfer, you need to make sure your mobile and PC are on the same network.
Guide on how to transfer photos from Huawei to computer:
> Step 1. On your PC: Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off to tick the checkbox of SMB1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support. Then turn on Network discovery and File Sharing.
> Step 2. On your mobile: Navigate to Settings > Device connection > Huawei Share > Computer Share. Then register a Username and a Password for the connection.
> Step 3. Choose your phone from Network on My PC, and select your photos from Huawei to transfer to PC.
* Huawei Share transfers files faster than Bluetooth and you can also conduct Huawei file transfer between two Huawei phones (EMUI5 or above), but only if both phones support this feature. (Huawei USB file transfer doesn't work?)
#4: How to Transfer Photos from Huawei Phone to Computer with Huawei PC Manager

- Photos must be in /DCIM/Camera, Pictures, Download, Huawei Share, or Tencent.

#5: How to Transfer Photos from Huawei to Mac/PC with Huawei Built-in Backup Function
Unlike Huawei HiCloud, Huawei Backup supports almost all Huawei phones. This is a feature that comes with Huawei mobiles. With it, you can backup photos or other files from your phone to SD card or PC. Of course, you can also restore data when needed.
