| 1480294 | 2021-09-04 09:31:00 | I plugged in a old SSD with Win7 OS on it to my Win10 PC. Win 10 cannot read the disk. I want to retrieve some files from the old SSD before formatting it. Any hope? Boot from a Linux will help? Which bistro to recommend? |

| 1480297 | 2021-09-07 21:29:00 | It couldn't read the drive at all. I took out the drive, put it in a USB external case and connected it to laptop with Win7 to retrieve the data. I remember long time ago, when I tried to install Win10 on a HP laptop with Win7, but couldn't proceed as Win10 says it can't install on that disk, as it's of different type of file format -- something to that effect. In the end, I used diskpart to erase everything, then only Win10 completed the installation. I don't understand why Win10 is behaving so weirdly. |
