How can I get into old iPhone 1 with no passcode?

I recently found my old 1st generation iPhone from 2007ish and I really want to extract some old photos from it. I used a different Apple ID from the one I use on my current Apple products and believe I might've found out what the old Apple ID but due to this being the 1st generation phone, I've learned that I can't look at the pictures on iCloud.com so I can't confirm whether it's the correct Apple ID or not. All the phone allows me to do is make emergency calls and the lock screen tells me that the phone is disabled and I need to connect to Itunes but because I have an M1 Macbook Air I can't download the old versions of iTunes that require an Intel processor. Every guide online says to put the phone in recovery mode but the problem is that I might delete ALL the photos and not be able to get them back due to not being positive about the Apple ID being the correct one. Sorry if this came off as a bit of a ramble, I am just desperate to get this phone unlocked. If anyone has any solutions please let me know!

If the iPhone is showing that it is disabled, the only way to gain access to it is to erase it using a compatible computer. Your photos are gone.
