Droid Transfer is a popular Android media transfer program for Windows, which allows you to backup your messages, photos, contacts, music and other files from your Android phone to your PC.

If you upgraded to a new Android phone and have text messages you don't want to lose, you can transfer them using Google Backup or a third-party app.
