Windows 10 Calendar recovery from failed drive

How to recover Windows 10 Calendar from failed SSD?  The drive is functional to read most of the drive, but not boot the OS.  The drive is on a bench computer to pull files currently.  The client said she used Windows Calendar, and we have no idea where to find the file(s).  We looked in the appdata/local/..../S0 folder as found on spiceworks article, but her folders are empty at that point.

Have they checked

https://calendar.live.com 

with their Microsoft account details?

local account
Try
C:\Users\<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\

That is the file location I shortened that ends in folder S0.  All folders are empty.

What was she using as a Mail app?
No.  just the calendar.  We are taking over this account, because they had no previous IT and the internal person was no capable of much.  The user was poorly informed on software since she could have been using her Outlook 2016.  That is where we eventually want to get the calendar imported into.

Since the old computer doesn't boot into Windows, and I only come into the picture after the computer failed (bad NVMe SSD)... I can only go on what she thinks she was doing for a calendar.  Apparently not or she had an online account.  No computers on site (that work) have an online MS account.  She said she will just rebuild the calendar in Outlook, so I have stopped the search.  Thanks for your help.

Thanks

(Just realised your ..\S0 location is further down the "rabbit-hole" than the location I posted)

The article I read was on spiceworks and said all the way down to S0 folder.  I will go back and check a few levels higher.
