I have a SSD in which I installed Ubuntu 20.04. But I could no longer use the SSD. More details here: Ubuntu is freezing (even in live session)

Now I bought a SATA to USB A cable. Now, how do I copy paste files from the SSD to my Windows 10 laptop using WSL?

I was trying these instructions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-disk

But wsl --mount <DiskPath> did not work.

Invalid command line option: --mountCopyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.Usage: wsl.exe [Argument] [Options...] [CommandLine]Arguments for running Linux binaries:    If no command line is provided, wsl.exe launches the default shell.    --exec, -e <CommandLine>        Execute the specified command without using the default Linux shell.    --        Pass the remaining command line as is.Options:    --cd <Directory>        Sets the specified directory as the current working directory.        If ~ is used the Linux user's home path will be used. If the path begins        with a / character, it will be interpreted as an absolute Linux path.        Otherwise, the value must be an absolute Windows path.    --distribution, -d <Distro>        Run the specified distribution.    --user, -u <UserName>        Run as the specified user.Arguments for managing Windows Subsystem for Linux:    --help        Display usage information.    --install [Options]        Install additional Windows Subsystem for Linux distributions.

Arguments:                    A valid distribution name (not case sensitive).                Examples:                    wsl --install -d Ubuntu                    wsl --install --distribution Debian    --set-default-version <Version>        Changes the default install version for new distributions.    --shutdown        Immediately terminates all running distributions and the WSL 2        lightweight utility virtual machine.    --status        Show the status of Windows Subsystem for Linux.    --update [Options]        If no options are specified, the WSL 2 kernel will be updated        to the latest version.        Options:            --rollback                Revert to the previous version of the WSL 2 kernel.Arguments for managing distributions in Windows Subsystem for Linux:    --export <Distro> <FileName>        Exports the distribution to a tar file.

Options:            --all                List all distributions, including distributions that are                currently being installed or uninstalled.            --running                List only distributions that are currently running.            --quiet, -q                Only show distribution names.            --verbose, -v                Show detailed information about all distributions.            --online, -o                Displays a list of available distributions for install with 'wsl --install'.    --set-default, -s <Distro>        Sets the distribution as the default.    --set-version <Distro> <Version>        Changes the version of the specified distribution.    --terminate, -t <Distro>        Terminates the specified distribution.    --unregister <Distro>        Unregisters the distribution and deletes the root filesystem.
