How to sync photos/videos from an iPhone 5 to a PC with Windows 8?

For graduation, I got a new laptop to be able to do my school work easily. Now, I have to get used to Windows 8 (which I'm actually very happy with), and there are quite a few changes. For example, AutoPlay doesn't come up when I plug in my iPhone. On my old laptop which had Windows 7, I would sync my photos/videos using AutoPlay and now I can't seem to find another way.
I did find this app that would transfer pictures and videos for me, but it costs 3 bucks.

Thanks for answering (or at least for reading until now)!

Hi, 4Videosoft iPad to Computer Transfer Ultimate is able to transfer photos, videos, music, etc from iPhone/iPad/iPod to computer for backup. You can find it on the website very easily. I'd like to show you how to transfer files from iPhone 5 to PC:

1.find the program and run it on the computer

2.connect your iPhone 5 to the program and you can see iPhone 5 files in the left panel

3.select your iPhone 5 files that you'd like to transfer to PC and click "Transfer" button
