So my mom's phone is dead. The screen is broke so we cant use it anymore even though its still booting up normally. I took backup of all the multimedia data. But the problem is contacts. Here is why I am not able to resolve this issue:

1. Since the screen is cracked, I cant install app to do backup. So any app related idea is useless.

2. I think I either didnt make microsoft account for my mom OR I did make one long back but actually forgot about it.

Any possible way? I checked the SIM card in my phone but apparently the contacts are saved on phone only.

Not sure but is there any pc suite? Try syncing with that?

A quick Google search led me to this: I want to backup my phone to my PC - How can I do that? What - Microsoft Communit

Not sure if you can open settings too?

Cant access phone at all, except turning it off/on.

If there is a PC suite, then my problems will be solved, will search.
