Hi and welcome to the forum:

The fastest and most reliable method is to get a USB SD card reader if it does not have an in-built SD card slot. With that:
The process is:
1. Turn off the camera and remove the card
2. Place the card into an SD card reader attached to your computer. The computer file manager should recognize it as a removeable drive
3. Go to the DCIM folder and use CMD+A to select all files, and CMD+C to copy them
4. Go to whatever folder you desire on your PC hard disc and press CMD+V to paste the files
5. Confirm all files have been copied
6. Remove the card and return it to the camera
8. Using the camera's format command, format the card(s) clean.
