End user here. 4 year old laptop with original storage drive (already replaced original SSD system drive with a new one) updated and corrupted the 1TB HDD. Pulled it out of the machine (HP laptop, turns out it was a Seagate HDD) and replaced it with another SSD. Yes, this laptop was originally a Windows 10. Yes, it was upgraded to Win11 last year.
Blaming the end user for the update corrupting an existing drive that has had NO ISSUES for over 4 years is about the dumbest and most condescending thing I've seen. Thanks for being absolutely no help at all, everyone but wildpeaks. The very first reply is someone who apparently went over to the FB post and spammed every comment with "CLickbait (sic) doesn't apply to anyone blah blah".
Considering the giant SHOVE that Microsoft has subjected us to in the last few years to upgrade to the latest and greatest OS, you would THINK that SOMEONE would remember that a lot of those older machines that are now running Win11 should be considered.
Also, anyone replying to a Windows problem with "well, you should be using Linux, too bad so sad" needs to check their attitude at the door. What an entitled life you must lead.
Going back to wrestling with trying to access the now external HDD. Do I sound bitter? You're d**ed straight.
