Locating and Copying Python scripts

Is there a way to find and copy some Python scripts off of an SD Card set to run Pi OS
I had a Pi 4 that I had install MM on that I subsequently did some sensor scripts on but decided to get the sensor scripts up and running first, so did a Pi OS install on a different SD SD Card thinking I could just copy the *.py files using my Win 11 laptop but my thinking was wrong.
When I put the SD card in laptop it sees all the various Pi OS files but not a *.py file to be seen. Files are there but while Windows can see all the OS files it can’t see the Python files.
I can get the files but really wondering if there are ways that might not be obvious to a casual MM builder like myself.SD Card A with Pi OS and MM installed plus about 6 - 8 Python scripts
SD Card B with Pi OS, NO MM and no Python scripts.
Use Windows 11 Laptop as middleman to move sensor scripts from SD Card A to SD Card B -
@ankonaskiff17 problem is Windows can’t read the SD card file system.
best to get an SD card/USB adapter and mount it on pi.

@ankonaskiff17 then the find command can be used to search the sd card for .py files
cd /media/userid/????? whatever the mount path is find . -type f -name "*.py" 2>/dev/null -
