As long as the hard drive is not encrypted yes. However you can also recover the images by booting a live Linux image from a flash drive, then transfer the files to an additional flash drive or network storage. This method does not require disassembly or adapter cables, as long as the PC will boot the live image. Just be sure not to install Linux, just boot from the flash drive.

A quick thing you can try is search your computer for your username. Again, not as familiar with MasOS, but it’s not hard to search (any search engine) for options using Finder and Spotlight that search most file contents on your Mac. Now if the username is coded in some form, it probably won’t work, but worth a try.

Can I just plug that hard drive into a USB port on my windows 10 laptop and open it...

Yes, generally speaking, that will work. I have recovered files from a bad system disk several times that way.

If the disk is not damaged...

You need the harness that adapts the PCI-SCSI disk to a USB adapter. Then you mount the disk and copy the folders from it that you want to save. Easy, peasy.

If the disk is damaged, you may be able to recover some of the contents with a disk recovery utility. You need a second USB drive to do that safely as the utility copies what it can salvage from the old drive to a new drive. You don't want that new drive to be your system disk. If the recovery goes badly, the target disk may fill up with trash files or duplicate files.

“I belonged to a photography forum that has a section where members can discuss politics.”

Please share the name of this photography forum so some of us can go have fun with them at their expense.

Thank you!

ya I heard it was that easy that is why I worded my post that way. Just needed re-assurance if you will!! Being a bit of a dummy in this field, I just wanted to make sure that the virus wouldnt transfer over. I really didnt think a windows 7 virus would attack a windows 10 that easily... thanks!! I’ll hit best buy for that adaptor this weekend!!

I like Nord VPN...
Been using it for several years...
If anyone messes with you, they send a hit squad and eliminate the problem...

There must a way to see thru a vpn as the Reddit site is known to do so as they cancel customers all the time. Make sure your login somewhere is not tied to google like a gmail account.

How does Reddit know to keep banning my new accounts even though I use a different VPN each time? What data do they track me on?

Are mods really allowed to do whatever they want?

if you have ever seen a reddit mod in real life, you would understand.

Other comment:
The only people who have a lot of free time to moderate for free, are typically the social rejects of the world.


The amount of people who think Reddit is a free-speech platform is utterly hilarious.
Reddit is so against free-speech that it is a meme.
Like Reddit is quite literally antithetical to free-speech, it exists to be in opposition to free-speech...


I’ve only been on Reddit for a week and have already been banned unjustly and harassed by biased, power hungry moderators. If this is how Reddit operates, then this website should count its days. If users are having horrible experiences because moderators are running rampant, drunk on power, then I can’t imagine many users sticking around years from now.

#74 I will use my Oracle VM VirtualBox I have installed.
I have copies of Windows OS I can use that are licensed.
Those can be bought at ebay cheap and are legit.
Just install Windows as you would normally. It is separate from the main Windows OS you have.

Using the VirtualBox I will create a new email address and a reddit account and see if I get banned.

In the past I tried creating a gmail account but received this message: This phone number has been used too many times

I only had 2 accounts.

Ghislaine Maxwell used to be a high level moderator at Reddit. That says a lot.

It should be avoided in general, it’s a Leftist haven. I go there for some technical subs and that’s it.

I used Brave Browser > > Developer Tools > > Network tab to reveal the following sources of info used by the browser:

https://www.googletagmanager.com

Learning how Google Tag Manager is involved, used for tracking sign-in’s, log-in’s:

IOW, what is a website doing - investigate.

Brave Browser (”BB”) likely blocks Google Tag Manager via the BB Shields.

Try Microsoft Edge, Firefox.
