[Hidden-tech] Need help transferring data from old laptop to new

[Robert Heller]

Well the *easiest* way (assuming the old disk is not encryoted), is to pull 
the old disk out and use a (cheap) SATA <=> USB adapter to attach the old disk 
to the new computer.  All of her files should be there.

All of the Lenovo Thinkpads I have had (well older ones) have easy to remote 
hard drives: one screw to remove the "cover" and then the drive can be pulled 
out and the carrier removed (four screws).

There are dead keys on her oldone, preventing her from entering her password to MS. She was happy with herold computer and said she doesn't need Windows 11. For any potential hands-on helpersout there, she's in Hadley.
