<p>Since you said it was a crashed disk - maybe the disk was a
encrypted drive ?<br>
I've never tried it SO I wonder if you can get what looks like
individual files which are encrypted and not the file system being
encrypted<br>
Filesystem-level encryption, often called file-based encryption,
FBE, or file/folder encryption <br>
<br>
Also you might also try unzip or wmic - which can tell you what
the file looks like <br>
wmic is a bit tricky and not might tell you what you want but
worth a shot<br>
<br>

<p dir="auto">Hi there,</p>
<p dir="auto">So I have a client who has old files in
WordPerfect. They were pulled off a crashed machine and
I tried to open them on a Windows 11 machine. I tried
Word, downloaded the new version of WP and tried that.
Nada. Tried an online conversion tool. That didn’t work
either.</p>
<p dir="auto">The question is whether her files are
corrupted* or are her files so old that an even older
copy of WP is required than what the current word
processors can handle?</p>
<p dir="auto">*when they open I just see lots of
characters.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks for your expertise.
