Hello,
So I have a laptop that has been infected with some virus.
I need to save some files on that laptop and then format it entirely, but the laptop is working very slow, it will take several hours to do it, so I'm trying to avoid this as much as I can.
I was thinking if there is a possibility to "contain" the HDD. I want to remove the HDD from the laptop, plug it into my PC, but to only work on a virtual machine so I can start the cleaning process without interfering with my PC (I have windows 10 on my pc - up-to-date).
So is there a possibility to make the HDD laptop "workable" only on the virtual machine? If so, please help me.
If not, please provide me some workarounds (taking into account that I want to avoid spending the whole day working on the laptop, as it is very slow).
Thank you!
