Thanks @mr3d_guy and @Dirtyradiation1… earlier in this thread, I realized the issue was with file conversion and not with the transfer itself. I realized this after saving the take to iCloud, downloading it to my machine and setting up the files as an archive. I still got the same errors.
I intentionally installed Windows 11 Education to keep my OS streamlined and not bloated, but I may need to update to Windows 11 Pro… just want to make sure I try everything possible before spending the cash!
If anyone joins this thread and experiences the same file conversion issues while on Windows 11 Education, please let me know!
