[Trisquel-users] Transferring Windows 10 backup files to Trisquel

[sublime4]

When trying to transfer my Windows 10 backup files on my external hard drive  
to my computer that is running Trisquel I had a lot of my files pretty  
unorganized inside of zip files.  I have a lot of my files scattered about  
inside of approximately 1500 zip files. Is there an easier way to organize my  
files again so that I can get all of my Word documents back (probably what I  
need the most)?  I did get some back but even then the files wouldn't open in  
LibreOffice Writer. Or is there a way to access the files again from my hard  
drive on my computer since all I did was an OS switch?  I didn't see my files  
anywhere, that's why I transferred them from the external hard drive  
containing the backup. When I talked to a guy from Seagate (the manufacturer  
of the external hard drive) he said that I may be able to purchase some kind  
of converter to change the format of my hard drive from NTFS to XFS. Does  
this sound familiar to anyone? Unfortunately, the software that goes with the  
external hard drive doesn't support Linux.  Only one partition on my hard  
drive is formatted in NTFS and that is the Microsoft Windows Recovery  
Environment.  I have four other partitions. They are a EFI system partition  
with FAT (32 bit version) format, a Microsoft Reserved partition with an  
unknown format, a Basic Data partition with Ext4 (version 1.0) format, and a  
Microsoft Windows Recovery Environment with a Swap (version 2) format.  Also,  
if my wording is a little off please let me know so I can be clearer to  
people in the future.
