I work away from home for weeks at a time, and I hurriedly set up my server on my last day at home last month

I got a free PC, and a 10tb HDD. Lenovo uses a stupid special cable to run sata drives off the motherboard, I didn’t know there were two sizes, bought the wrong size and said fuck it so I installed windows on the same drive and same partition I now have 4 tb worth of media

Now I want to move to Linux as my server OS, I got another PC that actually has the ability to run multiple HDDs

Can I access the files on this drive from another OS? Is there a way to keep these files without transferring it all to another HDD?

    So yeah use any liveUSB for example Fedora KDE and create the bcachefs partition and copy the files. Good luck!
