Hi all,

My GF's PC is having problems booting up, I tried doing a windows 10 start up repair to no avail. Unfortunately she does not have any restore points, recovery or backups of her data. I have taken her HDD out and using a USB adapter connected to my laptop. The drive comes up as a GPT Protective partition in Disk Management. Is there any way I can recover files from this HDD? I will put a new SSD drive in her machine and reinstall everything, but need to recover her old data off the old HDD. Can anyone offer any advice/suggestions? I am using a windows 10 laptop if it makes any difference and the HDD had windows 10 on it too.

Thanks in advance guys :)
 
Yes, it comes up as healthy GPT Protective partition in Disk Management.
Her PC is a HP AIO, with a 16 GB PCIe NVMe 3D Xpoint M.2 Solid State and 2TB HDD. If that makes any difference??
 
Having a bit more luck after plugging the drive into desktop PC (internal sata cables) and using a data recovery program. Scanning the drive to try recovering files currently. Thanks for the pointers guys
