From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If it isn't encrypted you should be able to mount the Windows partition from Ubuntu
This little trick bypasses windows passwords btw, booted puppy on my disused win10 machine a while back and mounted my drive without needing my "unlock windows" pin. Used it to rescue files because that win10 install won't pass that pin screen anymore, just input the pin and then black screen forever like it can't load.
Oh, it isn't encrypted. I've mounted the partition before. I just didn't find the time (read: I was lazy :P).
Haha, fair enough, I feel that. I've been procrastinating on my home lab maintenance.
