the planets and stars aligned !!

my ssd was the right type and best buy sold the ssd to usb kit

I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER ALL MY CODE

desktop died out    think bad psu    was proprietary and 200$ to replace    didn't want to do it

spent 30$ on kit

GOT ALL MY CODE BACK
wooooo wooo

tried to decompile my exe    encryption too good on python 3.12 auto-py-to-exe

just placed the ssd in the slot plugged the usb in both sides

VIOLA

clicked through the folders

FOUND MY CODE
HURRRAAAAAAAYYY

now I can do the upgrades I have in mind to crafter

without starting ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way over ! ! !

needless to say I am one happy computer programmer

such a big smile on my face I am gleaming

not ready to start working but so happy to have my work back
