Connect your iPad to your laptop via the USB cable and you should be able to copy and paste straight into your iPad gallery. The same way as if you were using a memory stick.

You can also use Dropbox and do it wirelessly. Go to the website, download the program for your pc, create a free account, download the app to your iPad and the rest is just dragging and dropping what you want. I use the wired method, as above, for work related sensitive images etc and dropbox for all personal images.

Disconnect, leave for a few seconds then reconnect. Select the files you want to copy, right click your mouse and click copy. Then browse to the iPad folder gallery, right click your mouse and click paste.

Don't do too many at once.

iTunes would be on your laptop. They would only transfer between that an the iPad. I'm guessing you don't have iTunes installed on your PC?

Do you have an iCloud account?

Make a folder of all the photos you want in your iPad.

Connect iPad to laptop. Open iTunes.

Left hand column you should see iPad listed.

Click on it.

Top bar you should see music video pictures.

Click pictures.

Click sync pictures.

Select the folder.

Click sync.

From the apple forum

You can put the photos in a folder on your computer.

Then connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes

click on the name of your iPad

Navigate to the photos tab then choose to sync selected folders

navigate to the folder you put those photos into and choose to sync.

Note, anything that you sync onto your iPad can't be deleted from the ipad, it has to be synced off.

So if you have just a few photos, it may be easier to simply e-mail them to yourself and save them from that e-mail.

And this

You can transfer the photos with a free app called Pic Share It. You drag the Photos to the Pic Share It window and it saves them to your camera roll on your iPad.
