    Will Windows Vista hard drive work on Windows 11 as a file drive?


    Hi Microsoft,So I have a old Windows Vista computer which I want to retrieve all of my old data off of that computer. I'm going to buy a new Windows 11 PC and get the old drive on the new PC as an external file drive for all my old data. The problem is I don't remember the password to the old PC and it is on it's last life. I'm not sure if I need the password to access all the old data. Will I need the password or not?

    :)
