got it figured out

Now I would just make similar suggestions like the other members, although the wallet might be encrypted with a password and the person that took your wallet might need that, don’t feel too relax that nothing would happen to it. Just create a new wallet on electrum and transfer just everything on the old one you retrieved there. This time around try to back up your seed phrase properly, probably an offline back up would be the best.

the new laptop was stolen. i have the hard drive from older laptop w/all my Electrum info. can i use that to retrieve my wallet. i was thinking i could insert the hard drive into another windows computer and make it work. i know my password, but not the new key.
If you have a password, then you will save it if you still have default wallet file on the Electrum wallet folder on the hard drive of your older laptop.
Just try searching it by typing %appdata% on File Explorer and searching Electrum or you can detail paste like example: C:\Users\think\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets

After download Electrum wallet, then choose folder where the file wallet inside, and type password where you know it.
 just simple like that.
