Well first I would ask if the photos are on the phone itself, or on a SD card. If on the card, you can get them off the card directly (either through an adapter, or if your computer has a card port).

If they are on the phone, then that will take more effort. You should be able to, however, still plug the phone, via USB cable, into a computer and transfer the files, since the files are going to be accessed/moved from the computer and not from the phone.

You will have to get the phone to allow you to do so though. Different phones do this differently. So you would need to find out your phones process. For most it is just a tap here and here, then you are good to view from the computer. Most phones have that screen pop up as soon as...
