Desktop died. Hard drive is good. I would like to recover some files. I have several external drives and four large flash drives. What is the easiest way to recover files ?

Easiest is to attach the drive to another computer by temporarily installing the drive and the copying the desired files off of it.
You could also use a USB/SATA adapter cable or even install the drive into an empty external drive case. Regardless, you'll need another computer to do the actual copying.
You may need to take ownership of files as they will have permission set to the old admin
The old hard drive is a boot drive. Any problems putting it in another computer that also has a boot drive ?
LaDeeDah-----Put the drive into an external enclosure and copied away. Appreciate the responses.
