    Thanks for the replies. The situation here I have a computer that belonged to a deceased person. The family would like to save any pictures/videos etc that exist and possibly any software he's bought and installed. The password isn't known but I have approached MS to see if there's any way to apply a new one, and if so would the computer recognise it. I haven't had much luck so far but possibly I could clone the Hard drives and explore files if all else fails. One suggestion was to follow these steps:
    Step 1 – From the login screen, click the power icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
    Step 2 – Hold the F9 while you click Restart.
    Step 3 – Click ‘Troubleshoot’
    Step 4 – Select Reset Your PC.
    Step 5 – Click ‘Remove everything’
    Step 6 – After your computer reboots, click ‘remove my files’.
    Step 7 – Click ‘Reset ‘
    Would this work ? I haven't tried it yet as I don't want to remove any files if it can be avoided. And if I remove everything and re-install windows how would I get the product key ?
