If your Windows system has crashed and won’t boot, you can still recover your data by transferring it to a USB drive. Here’s how:

Method 1: Use a Bootable USB with Windows Recovery Environment

1. Create a Bootable USB Drive (on another working PC)
   • Download the Windows installation media from Microsoft.
   • Use Rufus or the official Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB.
2. Boot into the Windows Recovery Environment
   • Insert the bootable USB into the crashed PC.
   • Restart and press the BIOS key (F2, F12, DEL, ESC, depending on your manufacturer).
   • Choose Boot from USB.
3. Open Command Prompt
   • Select Repair your computer > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt.
4. Copy Files to USB Drive
   • Type notepad and press Enter.
   • In Notepad, go to File > Open.
   • Navigate to your files, right-click, and copy them to the USB drive.

Method 2: Use a Linux Live USB

If Windows tools don’t work, you can use Linux to recover your files.

1. Create a Linux Live USB (on another working PC)
   • Download Ubuntu or another Linux distribution.
   • Use Rufus to create a bootable USB.
2. Boot into Linux Live
   • Insert the USB into the crashed PC and boot from it.
3. Access Your Windows Files
   • Open File Manager in Linux.
   • Locate your Windows drive and copy important files to another USB drive.

Method 3: Use an External Hard Drive Enclosure

If the system is completely unresponsive, you can physically remove the hard drive:

1. Remove the Hard Drive
   • Turn off the PC and remove the hard drive.
   • Place it in an external hard drive enclosure or use a SATA-to-USB adapter.
2. Connect to Another PC
   • Plug the drive into a working computer and copy the files to a USB drive.

Final Tips

• If the files are missing or corrupted, use Recuva or EaseUS Data Recovery.
• If you suspect a failing hard drive, back up files ASAP before attempting fixes.
