Cheap USB stick would be my choice.

I'd get a My Passport or similar USB storage device and once you've done the trqnsfer keep using it for future backups of your photos, as you risk losing them for good if anything happens to the laptop.

One more option to consider is to download the Google Photos sync tool available at https://photos.google.com/apps and it will upload all your photos to your Google account.

Once they have uploaded you can log in at https://photos.google.com to prove to yourself they are all there, then you can delete them from your laptop.

Id consider 2 options, use Google Photos as suggested and a portable hard drive.
