    Reset Windows10


    Hey guys, my cuz hit the reset button before he realized he had marked the reset box that wipes everything clean then restores his computer, now he didn't back up nothing so he wants to reset it again to his old setting in W10 ! He wants his files & pics back ! I told him i don't think that is possible !! So am i right or is there a way he can reset to his older W10 & get everything back ????

    I think he learned the hard way to make sure you read everything & understand it fully !!

    If he followed that all the way thru and the process completed as you describe it with those settings, and he has no backup of anything, anywhere.....

    no

    It is as if he had done a clean install of Windows 10 from scratch.

    Sorry...........

    Unless somebody else knows of a well hidden secret............

    EDIT: If by some chance there is a Windows.old folder on the C: drive, data can be pulled from it. I doubt it, but you can check.

    There are other threads in which partition recovery was used.
    The software I've not used.
    The partition recovery may only work for HD and not SSD.
