    Recovered my stolen hard drive with unwanted OS installed


    Awhile back my hard drive was stolen out of my laptop and I actually managed to get it back and thankfully all my stuff is still on there. The only problem is they installed a new operating system Windows 10 X-Lite and all my data is now located in a folder called "Windows.old" I was able to remove the Interlopers admin account but I would really like to go back to my old OS with all my desktop and programs as they used to be. I can't seem to find any recovery files or restore points but I'm wondering if they might still be hidden somewhere. Any help would be appreciated so I don't have to sta

    :)

    Recover files from Flash drive

    Does not work on a windows pc which is what the OP probably intended

    windows by default does not have HFS and HFS+ based hard drives.
    Able to perform retrieval on both HFS and HFS+ based hard drives. and so will not work with windows

    thanks for the effort

    Recover files from Flash drive

    According to me, the best flash drive recovery software which i have used and recovered files easily. It is very easy to use and within few steps you can recover data from flash drive. http://billhoyer.com/recover-corrupt-flash-drive-mac
