What’s the best way to recover lost files after my PC started having issues?
I don’t even know how to explain it properly, but my laptop just started acting weird a few days ago. I was using it normally for school work and saving some important files like photos, documents, and videos like I always do.
Then one morning I turned it on and some of the files were just not there anymore. I didn’t delete anything on purpose, so I’m honestly confused about what happened. I even checked different folders and the recycle bin, but still couldn’t find them.
Now I’ve just been trying to figure out if there’s any way to recover lost or deleted files from a laptop, especially things like documents, videos, and photos. I heard there are data recovery tools that can scan SSDs, hard drives, and even USB drives to bring back lost files, but I don’t really know what actually works in real life.
Has anyone here dealt with something like this before and actually managed to recover their files?
