    Can I get my personal files back from windows?


    For a few days, my pc hasn’t been able to boot since I tried to update everything and when I restarted it, it did not boot from my hard drive. I tried every repair method I could find online, but no luck. It wouldn’t even let me wipe all of the drives. I said screw it and wiped my ssd partition to reinstall windows on it. I am now on basic windows with my ssd, but my hard drive is still in my pc, but I can’t access my files. Is there a way to duplicate the files on my hard drive, make sure there is no malicious things in it, keep all of my personal files, get my pc to how it was, and reinstall

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
