Get the backup of your project files folder and databse from c panel or from the server folders and SQL command prompt

Then install wamp or xampp in your local system place project folder in c:/wamp/www folder and create a database in phpMyAdmin and import database with db backup file.

Then run your project as localhost/YouProjectFolder in browser config the default.ini the site folder and you all set

Download whole database. You can use drush or Backup_migrate. Then setup a fresh drupal system and inject the whole database there.

As I fortunately never used Windows, unfortunately I can't give you OS specific details. But xampp or similar solutions are there.
