No, you don't need software. Just plug it in, you should be able to access the documents, pictures, etc. through Windows explorer.

What else were you wanting to accomplish?

need software to connect my phone to computer {RM1067}

I had a problem the other day, i was at a friends house and was trying to download a video he had made, from his pc.

I connected via a usb cable he had, my phone charging came on, but in windows explorer my phone was not listed there. I went and got the usb cable from my car charger and when i used that, i had no problems.

When back at home i decided to try out all my usb to micro-usb cable's, 8 in total, on my fall back Lumia 530 phone. 3 cables worked 1st time, these were cables that came from good devices, like Bose bluetooth speakers etc. The other 5 started charging on the 530, but failed to show windows phone in explorer. Some i got to work if i fiddled with connections.

This may not be your problem
.
ME i stuck red pvc electrical tape on the dodgy cables as a reminder. Charge only!

You need your handset to be unlocked at the time in order to transfer. Enter either your pin or slide up from the 'lock' screen.
