Can i save contacts from my Lumia 920 directly to CSV file to PC?

[Windows Central Question]

First time i switched my Lumia 920 on i didn't set my Microsoft account. Through the time i was saving contacts and now i don't have any backup. Now i have install Microsoft account and next problem occurs. I can't get contacts to my account because the primary account set by phone itself is blocking this function. I can't delete this primary account so the only option is to delete all content. That doesn't really help me because with this my contacts are gone as well. So only way to get my contacts is to directly save CSV file to PC? Is that even possible (if, then how?) or is there any other option?

Thanks, M

try to copy the contacts on to your SIM and do a reset...after that sign in with your ID and copy the contacts from SIM to phone

Whoa now! Doing a reset before verifying what's actually on the SIM is a little risky...

Just thinking out loud here - can you add a Microsoft account in the People app, then go into a Contact and use the link function to create an entry in the Microsoft account you could then export from the outlook.com website? Might take a bit of time to do each one though.

You could also Share each Contact from the People app. Again though, it's a bit of pain to do each one.
