Connect Kobo to PC/Mac /Linux via USB
On Calibre -> Kobo Utilities -> Copy annotations for selected book. (also copies highlights and bookmarks)

You can also edit the conf file so an extra menu item is on the context menu for a title. Then there is the option to export annotations for that book as a textfile, which can be later copied via USB and a file manager. The Calibre method is easier.
There is also an Annotations Plug in on Calibre which imports the annotations to Calibre column entry, but I find the Kobo Utilities better. I copy & paste into a text editor window open beside source Wordprocessor.

There is possibly some method with Calibre & Kobo to copy annotations back to a fresh copy, but inherently that can't work well as the location of the source hightlight may have changed.

In general you can save (export) Kindle or Kobo (and some Sony) annotations, but not copy back.
