Probably the easiest way is to pull the hard drive and then get an external case for the HD. You can then run a USB to the case and plug it in like a thumb drive. ---

Buy a case or they sell usb adapters for like 10 bucks. It’s just a cable with a power adapter and you connect to usb and transfer. I don’t have one or I’d loan it to you. ---

I got a setup that turns a laptop HDD into a usb drive so you can remove data onto another computer. Think I paid $15, will sell for $10 in amherst. ---
