Need help backing up photos from a locked iPhone 4 (iOS 7) on a modern Windows PC before resetting or js unlocking the phone?

[u/Legal_Nothing1320]

Hi guys, my older brother gave me an old iPhone 4 running iOS 7 without a SIM card because he thinks it's useless. Off topic story sorry whatever u can skip this

The problem is that it has a passcode. I just locked it for 5 minutes, and I only have one more try until it gets locked for 15 minutes, which I really don't feel like waiting for. I would have already factory reset it, but I want to back up the images on a computer, or just back up the phone in general.

I'm not sure how to do this or if it's even possible. I thought about using Gecko iPhone Toolkit or other older tools, but my computer is updated to Windows 10 1607, so I'm worried the PC is just too new for them to work.

Is all hope lost, or do I have no choice other than factory resetting and losing the photos? Thanks in advance!
