iPads and iPhones run iOS, a mobile OS. Nothing else does, even a MacBookPro, it runs MacOS. Forget about Windows. heic is not a very portable file.iPad mini opened all of them just fine but I couldn’t tell you why.
However, I learned something, I could open the files with Preview. When I installed gimp, it took over being the default app for heic.
So a Mac can open heic with Preview, if you let it. Windows machines, generally won't be able to view heic files without some utility or gimp perhaps.
