Greetings
My old laptop has been wonky for some time, and I have bought a new one and have been getting it set up. The latest stuff on the old one, for a few months, is not backed up. Today it would not start.
As I have done once before, I removed the hard drive from the old computer and plugged it into the new one by USB. [Everything says buy an enclosure; I just have a wire that has USB on one end and whatever-it-is that plugs into the hard drive at the other.]
The only one of what I think Windows is pleased to call "libraries" is Pictures. My pictures are there. But no Documents. In fact, in folders-within-folders, there were even some documents under Pictures; but I don't see them now.
I have looked in Users, but there doesn't seem to be anything there.
I want to recover documents and some videos as well as the pictures.
Why (oh why) can't I just see them where they usually are?
Messing around with Recuva; don't know what I'm getting there....
They are both Dell laptops with Win 10.
Thanks,
denno
