Hi all,

My other half now has main use of my Macbook. I have recently built a new Windows 7 PC. I would like to use this as my paired computer with the phone. The question is how can I do this without losing all my contacts, photos, sms etc?

Ideally, I would like to have everything on my iPhone (apart from music as I have manually moved my music onto the new PC anyway) on my PC and any subsequent changes to come from the PC.

I am unsure if iCloud will do this anyway (I have manually transferred all my photos and videos to my PC so if the worst came to the worst I could put them into my PC iPhone photo library and resync up.

The main concern is that I will lose my contacts (which are synced to iCloud and Outlook), settings and SMS messages.

Any help? Thanks in advance.
