m18 R2, broken, can’t backup my data
My laptop can’t boot up the OS with either a blue screen witha stop code MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION or
WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR,
or freezes during loading. I was told to mail it to a tech center but they don’t normally back up data on it. How do I back up my data when my laptop can’t boot up nor do I have a spare computer to transfer?

If the drive won't boot, you will need something to allow it to be connected to another system -- either a friend or colleague system.
Something like this will do the job.

Hi
IF it is an OS problem as you have indicated, then I suggest getting your BitLocker Key and trying some thing like https://rescuezilla.com/
OR just a plain old Linux Mint before removing and trying in a caddy.
and still use the link @ejn63 suggested.
If in doubt please ask.
