In this guide, I’m going to explain the same so that you can transfer pictures from LG phone to PC without any technical hassle.
The most common and effective way to copy photos to your PC (from your Lg Stylo 5) is to do it via a USB cable.

For smartphone users who don’t see such notification, you may go to Settings → Developer Options → Networking → USB Configuration then tap on MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).
