Windows 10: Upgrade last night all of my files are gone from laptop.

:)

 

I upgraded to Windows 10 last night and now all of my files are gone

I had Windows 7 with all of my pictures and videos in folders on my desktop. I upgraded to Windows 10 last night and now all of my files are gone. I searched everywhere on the computer. I can't find them. Can anyone help me with a solution?

 

All my files under C:\ are gone

I am using Windows 10 Pro on my laptop. Last night I turned off my laptop (proper shutdown) and today when I started it, the post boot showed up preparing Windows.

After I logged into my Windows everything was gone. It's just like a new installation.

However, the software which I installed for example : VLC, Google Chrome, FireFox, IDM are still intact but all their settings like: bookmarks, save password, history, etc are gone (guess it didn't overwrite ProgramFiles)

• My Windows Update is turned off. As I always defer Updates. So no point of Automatic Update.
  
• No files under C:\Users as sometimes Windows keeps the old user and their files during/after installation
  
• No Windows.old directory present under C:\
  
• The files are not hidden. I checked the hidden item box from view tab.
  

What can be the cause of it ? Any Ideas ?

Thanks
