Do you have a screen lock on your Note 2? If you don't use a screen lock, plug it into the PC/notebook and use the file explorer to copy the files to the desktop.
However, if you use a screen lock, then you'll need to get a MHL adapter as well as a BT mouse and/or keyboard as input devices. Not sure if the screen will still recognize input from Pen or finger. So best to have those handy just in case.
