So i have a Toshiba laptop that was left to me by someone who passed away. I can't bring myself to delete her Windows partition in the hopes that one day I will get it unlocked and maybe understand what the f happened to her. It feels like 13 Reasons over here. Its my baby mama's old computer and her daughter needs one for school next year.
Obviously its locked. Should I even try to unlock it? Too late because I did try and failed. None of the passwords she left behind in her notes worked. Her password hint is clear but the password it hints at doesn't work.
Should I give up and wipe the partition table and install Windows?
Is that the ethical thing to do?
I can;t help but try and deep freeze a bootable clone of her internal hard drive now before I wipe it and install. Is there a way to archive it later and explore it if I decide to, through a VM image or backup to external drive somehow...
Musing here and just curious if anyone reads these and responds to this.
