Tip: Recover Deleted Photos and Pictures Using Windows File Recovery Software (7,8)

Recovering photos and pictures is easy if you did not use your computer too much after you found out they were gone, here’s a great Windows file recovery software that works on 7,8 and even on Vista

3. Step When you start the file recovery software for the first time it will ask you what you want to do. From there it’s pretty straight forward, select Recover and you can then select the file type e.g. images, documents, etc

4. Step You will have to remember the filename or it may be difficult to find the file, but if you don’t enter nothing and click Next
