Transferring files from Windows XP sata hard drive to Windows 10 PC
Hello,
I have an old sata internal hard drive with Windows XP installed and various files I'd like to recover. I hooked it up to my Windows 10 desktop and can view it in "This PC" but when I attempt to access it it suggests I reformat the drive. I don't actually need the drive itself, I am only interested in recovering the files on it.
Is there any way to access the files on the old hard drive without having access to Windows XP or Windows 7 machine?
Would it be possible to access the hard drive on a Windows 7 laptop with some sort of Sata to USB adapter?
I found this topic where one user said it should be as simple as just plugging it in.
Thank you!
