AlanH Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hi all, just a quick question, ive just replaced my Boot drive 8n my laptop because it was so small. Now ive just realised i didnt save some custom skins i made for one of my programs. If i get an enclosure for the drive will i be able to access the system files. I’m running windows 10 latest version, the drive is SSD M.2 Sata and i had windows pin security to access my laptop. Thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost about $30-ish. Here is a quick search on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/s?k=usb+to+m2+ssd+adapter&crid=230CLYJIRBE92&sprefix=usb+to+m2%2Caps%2C94&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_4_9 After your computer boots, then attach the USB Cable and your old drive should appear in "Computer." What drive letter, I couldn't tell you. It could be D or E, but you will see it. You might want to turn on "Show Hidden Files and Folders" just in case under the View Options. Then it's just a matter of digging through the folders on where your data is. I'd start in the "Users" Folder on that old drive and work your way down.
