    SMS Backup & Restore - Apps on Google Play

    Step 1. Download the App
    Please download the app on your HTC phone in advance. After installing it, you can open it and tap the "GET STARTED" icon.

    Step 2. Back Up Messages
    Hit the "SET UP A BACKUP" icon, and enable the "Messages" option on the screen. Next, you can choose Google Drive as your backup location, and log in to your account.

    Step 3. Save Text Messages to PC
    Sign in to Google Drive on your computer, and directly download the text message file on the PC. Once done, your HTC messages will be stored on the computer.

    or


    Using email is another effective way to send text messages from HTC to the computer. As long as you have installed an email app on HTC, you can use it to transfer SMS without hassle. Besides, please note that it will not back up the messages in the secure box or the blocked messages.

    Tutorial on how to transfer SMS from HTC to the computer via email:
    Step 1. Open the Messages App
    Please go to the Messages app on your HTC phone.

    Step 2. Back Up Messages via Email
    Hit the "More" icon like three vertical dots, and choose the "Back up/Restore SMS" option. Then click the "Back up" > "Back up SMS via mail" option to send text messages with your email app.

    Step 3. Receive Text Messages on the Computer
    Browse the mail web on your PC, and log in to your email account. Then you will see the sent message file in the inbox. Tap on it, and download the file on your PC.

    hmmm...

    Try this then:

    1. Open the Messages app on your HTC phone, select a conversation, and tap the three dots or Share icon at the top-right corner.

    2. Choose Share > Email > sign in with your email account > enter one recipient in the To field > tap Send.

    3. On your computer, log in with the same email account and password, find the email you sent minutes ago, and download the attachment to the computer. To send another message to your computer, you can repeat the steps.

    Check the MS store and search sms and there are lots of apps that may work.
