I am trying to find couple word documents I saved on the desktop of the old Hd which is now connected to a new laptop with SATA cable.
However, I can't find it and also a desktop folder in "my computer".
The old HD has letter so it is recognized by the new computer but somehow it doesn't appear.
It looks like anything not in a folder is deleted.
Where can I find it at ?

I booted from the old drive but it paused on the log in.
Old Hd Os is a win 7 and a new one is win10.

Somebody please help me.
Thank you

Desktop files are saved in Drive Letter(D,E, Etc)/Users/"Username"/Desktop

You generally can't use drives from other computers to boot from, as the Windows installation is specific to the Hardware.
