Sata 2 - USB adapter to retrieve data from old W7 primary drive ?

3d4life · 2021-08-28 14:05:56

I would like to retrieve data ( circa 250GB ) from a Windows 7 Pro primary drive ( laptop SATA II ) onto a Windows 10 laptop. Laptop has USB 2 & 3 ports. What do I need to get to do this ? Can it be bought in a B&M store in the greater Dublin area ?

Not B&M but I bought one like this on Amazon. Mine is a generic brand. Can't find it now but Sabrent are a good make.
Sabrent USB 3.0 to SSD/SATA/IDE 2.5/3.5/5.25-INCH Hard Drive Converter with UL Power Supply & LED Activity Lights [10TB Support] (USB-DS12) : AmazonSmile: Computers & Accessories
Works with SATA and IDE/ATA drives.
The ones for just SATA are cheaper, and are linked to in the same listing.
