    How do I recover all my apps in Win10 after pc reset


    So I now have windows 10 and I'm so fed-up with it. It all started with RST driver thing not working. I downloaded the latest driver, installed it and windows would not boot. It would go to the trouble shooting screen and I tried everything, got frustrated and did the PC reset that does not delete your personal files. But it did just that! All the previous apps that I had, all the years of saving my favorite links in folders inside of firefox is all gone. All my adobe apps, security apps etc.... Please tell me there something I can do to recover all of this. I have tried system restore (recovery) and even that was turned off. I tried to revert back to win 7 but the system restore in that was turned off as well and I don not understand how or why it was that way.... Thank you anyone that can help.... Joe

    The reset option does not delete your personal file. I was clearly warned prior performing a reset that programs would be removed with the reset. Firefox shortcuts MAY be recoverable by looking in the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ folder if it exists. Check before and after you reinstall Firefox.
