Google Photos. Upload from Phone, download to computer
^ This. Previously, I have just downloaded and then used a free HEIC converter application, but still somewhat annoying.
If you have an Amazon Prime account, they have free unlimited storage for photos. You can back up and then download to your PC.

Not sure if you can use Google photos on iphone but it works wonders for backing up automatically to the cloud on Android.
Some tactics:
- Airdrop in bunches of ~500 to computer, should take maybe 10m for all
- Connect to laptop but use image capture, select all and download them into a folder of your choosing (has worked for me when iTunes had issues)
I have used both of these with success. With 35K photos on my old phone, worked just fine on my current MBP…and also on my10 year old MacBook Air. So it should work for you too :)
Pretty sure air drop is only for Apple devices. Image Capture is an app already installed on Apple laptops.
If you only have a PC and nothing else is working for you, might be worth asking a friend if you could borrow their Mac for a one-time thing just to get your photos off the phone, as it could be much easier that way.
