Move Photos and Videos from an iPhone 4 to PC
You need a way to transfer original photos and videos from your iPhone to your PC. First copy/import them from your iPhone to Windows, then proceed to delete them from within the Photos app on your iPhone.

To copy/import using a Mac, connect your iPhone to your MacBook, and use a macOS built-in app called Image Capture. Upon launching, Image Capture will list your iPhone in the left pane. Selecting it will display all the photos and videos available on your iPhone. Simply select the desired ones and drag them into a folder of your choosing to copy them to your Mac. Once copied, you can also delete them from the iPhone using the Image Capture app.

For computers running Windows, you can download a 3rd party app called iExplorer to easily browse through and transfer all your photos and videos from your iPhone to your PC.

Developers of iExplorer have shared a tutorial article listing instructions on how to transfer photos from your iOS device to PC:
