I changed my Nikon D750 to shoot RAW, but now my computer says the files aren’t accessible, and they also won’t transfer wirelessly in the Nikon app. What’s the correct way to get RAW files from a D750 onto a computer, and can they be transferred over Wi‑Fi?

You CAN actually send the original raw files over wifi with Nikon Cameras. The transfer will take longer that tethered shooting thru a dedicated lan port. And you need at the computer ends an application that read raw files like Lightroom or Capture ONE and supports tethered shooting if you want to view the pictures.
You can even setup an FTP or SFTP server (on you Lan or Internet) to receive them.
Nikon D750: The user has to follow a process in the camera to select and push the selected photos to the computer over wifi. The process is explained in Pg. 270 of the user's manual (PDF download from Nikon).
Hope it helps.

RAW files from a Nikon D750 can be transferred, but there are two common issues:
-
Viewing/opening RAW files: Your computer needs software that supports Nikon RAW files, such as a RAW-capable editor or viewer. If the files copy over but won’t open, that’s usually a software support issue, not a download issue.
-
Wireless transfer: RAW transfer over Wi‑Fi is often limited or slower because RAW files are much larger than JPEGs. Some Nikon workflows do allow sending original RAW files wirelessly, but on the D750 you typically need to follow the camera’s specific transfer process described in the manual. If you want fast wireless previews, many photographers shoot RAW + JPEG and transfer only the JPEGs to a phone or tablet.
For full RAW files, the most reliable approach is usually to copy them directly to your computer and open them in RAW-compatible software. If you want wireless transfer, check the D750 manual’s section on selecting and sending images over Wi‑Fi.
