    I am not doubting your experience and respect your judgement. However, I’m having trouble trying to understand how Windows files were easier to get than Linux. To me, it seems like they would be equally as easy, except that using a Linux live boot USB is much easier to make, which you can use for both. Perhaps, the Linux drive was encrypted? Anyone have ideas how Linux files would be more difficult to access? I’m really just trying to understand.

    • Maybe it was Gentoo installed 15 years ago… recent Linux is cake easy compared to way back when. I remember having to create a driver and compile a custom kernel just to get a USB lan adapter to work… these days it’s so effortless

      Windows requires extra software to read Linux filesystems. I guess that was too hard for OP. Like you said though, a live USB is the way to go.
