Attempting to back-up notes elsewhere without needing to upgrade

[vzhz 0]

I have been using Evernote (basic/free edition) on my Android phone for some time. I am hoping to save my notes, delete those that I no longer refer to regularly, and continue using Evernote.

The instructions I've found for download have you do it from the desktop app and I am now being prompted to upgrade so I can use evernote on multiple devices. How can I export my notes (preferably to my computer) without an upgrade? If I unsync my android and begin using the computer as my Evernote device, will my notes be saved there?

Your notes are sync'd to the Evernote servers.

You can revoke acess to your Android device, allowing you to use your Computer.  
Your notes will then be sync'd to your computer.

Thanks for the response. When one exports notes from a notebook, where in your system do they export to? I expected then to be in downloads but they aren't there.

When I export notes on my Mac, I get this window to specify the export details. 
The location is specified in the Where box

You should see a save dialog when you export notes.  Are you using Mac or Windows desktop? 

Also, you should be able to have your computer and your android active at the same time.  The Basic limit is two active devices.  Do you have a third?
