Ahoy! I want to share files between iphone & pc. I just discovered that W11 home edition doesn't allow remote access. Microsoft wants $99USD to upgrade to pro. Does anyone know of alternative means? Thanks.

Upgrade to Linux. It's free and not filled with spyware like windows.

One of these days... I like my apps. I understand there aren't as many available for Linux.

You understand incorrectly.

There are thousands of programs for Linux... but you should be warned that relatively few programs run natively on both Windows and Linux. In some cases there are ways to run "Windows programs" on Linux, but in general such successes are special cases. If you absolutely must have Windows you can run it in a virtual machine... but you will most likely be happiest with Linux if you aren't chasing after such things.

I use Windows for work because our IT department only supports that... but I use cygwin and wsl to get a smidgen of my familiar Linux tools that I use on my personal computers.
