My cousin only 45 passed away from cancer a year ago. He sent me lots of messages and attached files of his photos and music which now have a great deal of meaning to us.
I've been wanting to restore and transfer these files to my new computer. The messages were previously on Outlook Express and they failed to transfer using Windows Easy transfer. I intend to recycle the old computer. Could I remove the old hard disk and access it by some hardware method? Unfortunately the keyboard and graphics card on the old computer are damaged so it seems that removing the hard disk and inserting it into a portable drive unit may be the answer. What kind of hardware would I need? Never having done this I'd really appreciate some advice from anyone.
