    Win11 update - just wiped my entire drive of all personal files


    At 1:48pm central, my HP Dragonfly updated to Win11, I did not want it to. Was only trying to get latest audio driver. After first boot, my system was normal, Win10/my background/files present, then it rebooted again and when it got back to desktop, it was Win11 and all my personal files/background/browser setting/etc... were gone. How can I get my files back?

    :)
