iCloud is the easiest way.


Probably the next easiest way is to plug in a compatible Flash Drive and go to the People album and Select All>Share>Save toFiles>Browse>[flash drive]. But you need that Lightning Flash Drive or a Lightning adapter.


A straight USB connection apparently requires you to Install the Apple Devices app from the Microsoft Store. You can see some details here:
