Can I get files off a broken computer?

Often yes: if the drive itself is fine, files can usually be copied off even if the rest of the computer is dead. If the drive is failing, stop using it and go to a data recovery specialist.

Before you goDo not keep restarting a clicking drive.
Ask the shop“Do you charge if the data cannot be recovered?”
