Hello folks

Apologies for not displaying my hardware/config, but I cannot get at these just now so please bear with me.

First, my sob story. I have an existing raided Freenas box that was configured by a friend who is unreachable at the moment. I accessed this through my Windows 7 computer via a Windows/Samba share. All good until one day the power supply on my Windows 7 computer literally blew up knocking out the electrics in my house. Reset the RCD, bought a new power supply - computer still would not start. I tried removing hardware bit by bit, memory sticks one at a time, graphics card, sound card blah blah blah. I eventually got it to start up but *only* when all of the hard drives were detached, so I figured the exploding power supply killed my motherboard - a Sabertooth X58, no longer made.
Rather than buy a secondhand replacement, I decided to get a new machine. Settled on a Beelink GTR-7 which came pre-installed with Windows 10 Professional.

I really need a steer on how I can get at my FreeNas data - I can't even remember the ip address for the Admin page :(

Any tips gratefully received.

Sorry again, but I am a total noob with regards to Linux/Freenas

Thanks
