What HTC/Android setting allows phone storage access from Windows 7?

I just want to plug a mini USB cable from the HTC One M7 to my notebook and have Windows 7 recognize the phone storage as a new volume in Windows Explorer.

I used to be able to do this with my HTC ATT Aria.

Thanks for any help.

Android version
5.0.2
HTC Sense version
6.0
Software number
7.23.502.4

The USB connection type needs to be set to MTP or "transfer all files" or the like.
The USB connection needs to be approved after you unlock the security screen.

You may need to download a device driver from the HTC website for Win7 to recognize the phone as a disk drive.
