@PeterHany 

 

Can you access Windows on your machine now ?

 

If yes, please use

          https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/back-up-and-restore-your-pc-ac359b36-7015-4694-de9a-c5ea...

 

If no you can replace HDD and access old HDD later using old HDD as an external drive

 

Regards.
