Hi folks- this is getting a bit out of my depth... An artist friend's 2009 Acer totally bit the dust; among other problems, she has important photos and documents in old downloaded emails stored in Thunderbird. The machine was an Aspire 5534 running 64-bit Win7. I've installed the dead 5534's Hitachi SATA 2.5" hard drive in an external USB enclosure, then scanned it with 360; Symantec found and 'fixed' several suspicious files. The drive itself seems to be working OK, and I've found the Thunderbird program files. In the meantime, she ran out and bought a new $400 Acer netbook at Walmarts that runs Win10; and she also has an RCA Android tablet where she eventually wants her artwork (on a SD card, I'm thinking). At this point, I'm wondering if there is any way to install Thunderbird on her new Acer, and then swap in the files from the old installation. Also, I was wondering if I could somehow run the old installation from the USB drive, as I think the contact list must be exported and the mail visible to see which photos she wants to keep. (Then I can let her do this housekeeping!) And, if you're wondering, all this became my job just because back in '09 I recommended Thunderbird as a great program!:]
