If you have a mobile phone that runs on a version of the Android operating system and you want to connect it to a computer that is running on a version of the Windows operating system, then you need to do it by plugging in the USB cable. The only thing is that the USB cable online doesn’t act as the bridge between the device and the computer. The Windows operating system also needs to have the right OEM USB Drivers installed on it before it can do anything that involved transferring of data and developing.
