You're facing a common issue with older systems and USB adapters. Since both your SSD and HDD have Windows installed, connecting them via USB might help bypass the boot problem. For data recovery from the USB drive, ensure you use a reliable tool like WinMerge or a dedicated recovery software compatible with your OS version. Always back up important data before attempting recovery to avoid loss.

I would start by making a clone because it includes a Windows installation, and getting all the information onto a fresh drive comes first, especially when the original drive is failing. You can use Aomei Partition Assistant (free) or Macrium Reflect to duplicate it to a new drive. I’d begin with Aomei and perform a sector-by-sector copy, provided the target drive is the same size or larger. You can connect the faulty SSD to your computer using a USB adapter and then proceed with the copy. If cloning isn’t feasible or you’re not concerned about the installed programs or Windows, just plug it in via USB and copy the files you need.
