Recover files from bluescreen windows storage?

[Onera]

Hi community,

The situation is like this...

I have hdd with Windows showing blue screen. Tried the auto repair, didn't work, tried to disk check /f didn't help.

When I hook the storage it get recognized and can browse aroind, but can't find user folder, where the stuff is, due to security reasons I assume.

What can I do? How to get the data from the storage?

User profile with user data is located under \Users\<username>.
To access it on another pc, you'll have to take ownership of user profile folder. Then assign user permissions, so you can access the files.

How can I obtain access without booting the windows?

I don't see \Users folder in that screenshot.
It might be hidden. You have to turn on "Show hidden files and folders" in Folder options.

That is interesting.
Could be failed windows 10 upgrade?

Check under \Windows.old\Users.

Okay, my bad.

The computer was on German, so the folder is called Benutzer

...
Sorry for that. Now when I know it, what's next?

Go into that folder, find appropriate user profile folder and get your user files.
Take ownership of the folder, if system doesn't let you accessing it.
