Title: question for the compter gurus
Post by: MikeMac on September 03, 2019, 12:22:48 pm

I have the hard drive from my old computer installed in a drive enclosure. How do I go about using it as a USB drive and access the files on it? When I hook it up I can see the files but don't know where to look for pics and PDF's I would like to bring over to my new laptop. Any tips?

Assuming it was in a Windows system, your documents will be at
\Users\<YourUserName>\Documents
Pictures will be at
\Users\<YourUserName>\Pictures
Or, if it was a Windows 10 system, they could be at
\Users\<YourUserName>\OneDrive\Pictures
On some Windows 10 systems, the user name is simply "me", so pictures might be at
\Users\me\OneDrive\Pictures
