Found a good article on the web on how to get XCode logs off a device if you do not have a MAC.
How to capture iOS Console Logs on Windows PC - iOS 11 Compatible

This uses a set of stand alone software called iOSLogInfo
How to download and use iOSLogInfo ?
1- Download the iOSLogInfo tool from here: https://www.blackberry.com/blackberrytraining/web/KB_Resources/KB36986_iOSLogInfo_4.3.4.zip
2- Use Winrar or winzip to extract the folder into any directory ( e.g. I extracted the folder to my C: Drive )
3- Make sure that your device is connected through the lightning cable to your PC
4- Click on start and type “CMD” , right click on the command prompt and make sure to select “Run as Administrator” as shown below
5- Now on the command prompt, go to the path of iOSLogInfo folder (e.g. in my case it was c:\iOSLogInfo so I had to type cd C:\iosloginfo)
6- Type the command below to begin with capturing iOS console logs
sdsiosloginfo.exe -d > c:\iosloginfo\consolelogs.txt
7- Do the needed action on your iOS device and once you are done go back to the command prompt and type CTRL + C to stop the console logging task.
8- Now you will notice that there is a new .txt file created inside the iOSLogInfo folder called “consolelogs.txt”
9- Voilà, you just have the console logs captured !
Note that the iOSLogInfo tool is having many commands other than capturing the iOS Console logs, there is for example the command called “sdsioscrashlog” to capture crash logs, “sdsdeviceinfo” to get your device info. etc… (see the screenshot below to see the list of available commands) + I listed all the additional comands available below:
Additional Commands available:
Capture console logs:
sdsiosloginfo.exe -d > C:\iOSLogInfo\consolelogs.log
Capture Carsh logs:
sdsioscrashlog.exe -e -k C:\iOSLogInfo\crash_logs
Pull disk_usage:
sdsdeviceinfo.exe -q com.apple.disk_usage -x > C:\iOSLogInfo\iOS_Disk_Usage.xml
Pull Device Stats:
sdsdeviceinfo.exe -x > C:\iOSLogInfo\iOS_Device_Stats.xml
Pull iTunes logs:
