Android File Transfer

I'm trying to transfer photos from a Samsung Galaxy S7 onto my Windows 10 PC, but when I plug in the phone via USB, it shows up as a device instead of a hard drive, and I can't use something like RoboCopy because there's no drive letter or path that I can use. I can navigate to the folders by going to "This PC" and selecting from there, but the copy keeps getting interrupted and some images aren't copied over fully, so som3thing like RoboCopy would serve me much better.

When I plug in the device, it shows up as SAMSUNG-SM-G930A. Is there a way that I can map the device as a drive like I would with say a network path or something like that?
