Looks like there is no way to do that. I just drag and drop to speed up the copying. Bummer huh?

First create an album on your phone to move the pics into. Then connect a USB cord from your phone to the computer. Phone shows up in This PC just like if you put an external hard drive, flash drive, etc plugged into the desktop. Internal Storage. DCIM. Whatever album folder you put the pics in. You can open it up and select all your pictures to move to another source.

Of COURSE MS would not create the most basic feature that EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD would EXPECT even the most BASIC of photo apps to have...
Why would they... They haven't actually FINISHED a piece of software in DECADES!!!!
I mean REALLY! Why even HAVE Photos as part of the app if you can't do the absolute MINIMUM functionality...? GAWD!!!!
UPDATE: See teateateatea's post below for confirmed work around using the Phone Link > Gallery App > click and hold for multi-select then drag to your folder solution.
