Create computer backup after crash

I downloaded windows 11 preview ... attempted to run the eraser app and my computer crashed.

Windows Boot Manager appears; I tried the PCI LAN options , didn't work. PKE over IPv4 and 6 don't work (not even completely sure what all that is but the only options I seem to have before I go straight to a new OS install)

Is there any way of attaching a different machine to recover data before I reinstall the OS?


Solution 1:

Since the machine still boots, just Windows is destroyed, perhaps the best way is to create a Linux Live USB and boot it to save your data.

Next time, do not do a Windows 10 upgrade, or install a new and untried system such as Windows 11, without taking very strong backups.
