Lost data

Post by josemanuel2804 »

Hi guys
Just moved to windows 11 and I lost all my data, particularly the saved data, currently unable to resume my game
Does anyone know the best method /software to recover the missing data ? particularly the .pws files ?
Any help is welcomed
Thanks

If your saying you upgrade your computer from an earlier version to 11 then I doubt you can as 11 is likely to have overwritten the old version unless, during the upgrade, you backed your old config up.

If you search on the internet for other people who have had this happen
you can try and recover them using their methods.

It is too late now but this is a good reminder to have backups. Personally, I have a portable hard drive for my games and other files and keep the computer's SSD fairly clean. It does lead to problems when the USB cord wiggles and loses connection but that is life - usually with a cat or two involved!
