Step 1: Ready Your Tools Even though Windows isn’t working, your data  remains on your hard drive  or solid state drive. To copy it elsewhere, we need to boot into an operating system (OS) other than Windows. Since Linux is free and  easy to install , that’s what we’ll use! There are  endless versions of Linux you could try  for this process. We’ll use  Linux Mint since it’s popular  and similar to Windows, but feel free to  substitute another  if you prefer. To  create a bootable USB drive , you’ll need three things: A spare flash drive of 4 GB or more, which you must wipe to install Linux. A working computer to set up the bootable USB flash drive with Linux. An external drive, a sufficiently large flash drive, or cloud storage space to copy your data. The  Universal USB Installer tool from Pendrivelinux  makes this process painless. Visit the site and download a copy of the tool, then head to the  Linux Mint download page  to download the  ISO (disc image)  of Mint.
