Thanks for that input based on your past experience with *ext2read*.
My desktop is old (circa Windows 7 days), so it's BIOS & not UEFI.

This is a screenshot of the "ext2read" GUI running on my Win10 desktop.

For whatever reason, the GUI sees only the "root" Linux hierarchies.
It sees *nothing* in the home directory!

I don't know why it can't see inside the home directory.
Luckily, *LinuxReader* had no problem seeing inside my home directory.

I'm sure there's some "setting" somewhere in ext2read that I must have
missed, but, since "LinuxReader" is working for me, I'm not going to
try to
find it as the cost of freeware is the amount of effort to learn which is
the best.

And what kind of encryption do you have on your home directory ?

Is your home directory actually stored on a different disk and mounted
on top of a mount point there ?

There's likely a logical explanation.

I would agree. I've had no issues with reading my home folder to
extract things like docs, pics, .icons files.
