Yes. Use iTunes:


As Mentioned here: Restore your device from a backup on your computer

"On a Mac with macOS Catalina 10.15, open Finder. On a Mac with macOS Mojave 10.14 or earlier, or on a PC, open iTunes"


So, using your DELL PC, Use iTunes.

Yes - unless you back it up using an external location (i.e. iCloud storage). You would go into enable Photos on iCloud - then export them all to iCloud, by enabling Photos. So, just make a list of you current apps, seeing if you can find them when you downgrade. Crating a backup of iOS 14 will will no restore to iOS13.


Or, just restore from a Backup, made from to this upgrade.
