All you need is a PC & a MicroSD Memory Card Reader (nearly all of the major USB  Memory Card Readers available in the market can read MicroSD Cards as well)

Insert the into a PC card reader, and plug the card reader into your computer. You can use a standard SD card reader with the MicroSD-to-SD adapter, or a card reader specifically designed for micro SD cards.

In most versions of Windows, the AutoPlay will popup as soon as you plug in the card reader. Choose “open folder to view files” from the bottom of this window.

You will then see the folders stored on the MicroSD card. The folder you are looking for is called system. Open it.
