Windows 10: Retrieve lost files

My laptop decided to completely loose windows my laptop sees no OS at all I'm buying windows disc to re install but there are files on the HDD that I wish to retrieve please tell me how in step by step

:)

 

File Lost!!

I had that happen once where I lost a file that was too big to recover, and I couldn't find a utility that could do it, either . . .

I ended up having to take the HDD to CompUSA and have them retrieve the lost info *Eek!

 

Upgrade and retrieval

Hi Hamza,

To address this concern, we suggest that you follow the steps on how to retrieve files after the update to Windows 10 provided on this link:

Find lost files after the update to Windows 10.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you.

 

Can I still retrieve files from my lost phone?

If I could retrieve my contacts list, there must be some other way to retrieve all the other files? Even if it was considered lost already.
My mac only has OSX Tiger, so it is not compatible with Zune. . .

Thank you for any help. . . I would greatly appreciate it.
