Need help transferring photos from Camera to Computer

[GhostDoll GodSlayer]

So my mom bought a camera just to take pictures at our party and then return to the store.

That's the camera we got, but now I'm having problems getting the pictures from the camera to my computer.

I've tried everything in the manual and read online but I can't figure it out.

I downloaded the software and made an account for image gateway but neither methods are working. 

The camera isn't connecting to my router, keeps saying the password is incorrect.

And my computer doesn't want to install the wifi connection settings from the Canon software download. 

It keeps saying it can't proceed because Windows Media Feature Pack is not installed.

I've been troubleshooting for about 3hr now.

 

I want to just buy an SD memory card reader and hook up the USB to my computer.

Is that a possible option? Will I be able to just copy and paste the pictures onto my computer that way?

Or am I forced to use the wifi method equipped with the camera?

Any help would be great thanks!

Why don't you just plug it in directly to the computer. That's the fastest and easiest method of doing it.

Because APPARENTLY the camera doesn't have any way to plug directly into the computer. My old camera did and I could copy pictures in 2 seconds but this one doesn't. The only way it says is through wifi. That's why i was wondering if the SD memory card reader option would work.

oh ok. Yeah get a card reader and do it that way. That would be the next best option for you to try.

There should be a usb connector on the side.

I do not approve of buying something to use once and return.  You can rent cameras for fairly cheap.
