So i killed my linux server with one simple command "sudo apt-get auto remove" everything broke and won't boot.

So now im trying to assign my ssd a drive letter so i can get my files out of it. There is one folder on the home directory of a user that i really really need.

Please help me get my files back :)

Do you by any chance have an external hard drive case and a second system?

Yes, i do have a windows 10 computer that i can plug the disk in (where i found out that i cannot assign a drive letter to it) i do have a windows 7 and a win8.1 laptop, and i do have access to a windows 7 computer (but its my dads one si i would need to wait for him to get home in the end of the week)

If the drive was formatted for Linux, you would be better off creating a bootable Linux USB stick, boot off of that, mount the drive with the files on it if it doesn't mount automatically and transfer the files either to that USB stick, to another USB stick, or over the network to another computer.
