Windows 10: My windows laptop did a factory reset and now all my files and apps are gone. I’ve tried...

I just got back from work to find my Acer laptop completely reset on its own. I didn’t approve of any factory reset, and it seems like it happened while it was turned off somehow. Currently my laptop doesn’t have many apps aside from Microsoft edge, which is the default browser. I’ve tried looking up online on what to do to at least get my old documents back, and found several posts both from the Microsoft q&a community and other websites on how to fix this issue. I’ve tried restarting my laptop 4 times, locating the windows.old file, and tried checking if there’s any new Windows updates

Diskpart : there are no fixed disks to show.. Factory reset gone awful

Hi everyone, I was asked to factory reset an Asus laptop and install a win 7 on it, while starting to install the win 7 I got stuck with the "no device drivers were found", searched for some tutorial on YouTube, found this vid: , followed the command codes step by step on MS-DOS : ( Diskpart >>> list disk >>> select disk 0 >>>> Clean >>>> create partition primary >>>> format fs=ntfs quick) and now I completely lost the disk 0 with all system files, no hard drive showing as a boot option in the BIOS. Am I screwed ? Is there a way to create or reactivate the internal HDD ?? Thank you in advance for your help

The process of resetting an Asus laptop to factory settings can vary depending on the model and operating system. However, here are the general steps you can follow:

1. Back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud storage as resetting your laptop to factory settings will erase all data.

I am planning to perform a factory reset on my laptop. I have a few concerns about my Windows license:

1. Will I be able to recover my Windows license after the factory reset?
