My laptop had a sound error so I gave it to a relative who knows you about computer hardware so he can fix it again.
No idea what did, but apparently the laptop is completely shut down.
What I'm worried about now is the data. Suppose the laptop goes back on, then all my folders are gone? Or are they still somewhere on the hard drive? It makes me so angry, man.
As long as the hard disk has no damage and everything was stored properly - as it is done before shutting down - there should be no problems there.
I was also able to save my data after my laptop completely lost its mind. There are cases with corresponding connections. Since you only need to remove the hard drive from the laptop, connect the case to another computer and the data is there.
Of course everything only, as long as the hard disk has no damage.
If the operating system is broken, it does not mean that the data is gone forever. For an emergency, if Windows does not start, so Linux with Live CD boats (So do not install but just start with Live CD) and can there first backup your important data from the hard drive to your external hard drive or USB stick before reinstalling the operating system. But you can also reinstall Windows 10 without deleted data. But backing up data is still advisable, because it can also go something installing a chief.
The data is almost certainly still there.
Boats from Stick.
and afterwards: SAVE your data regularly. That can't be that you are now mad at the helpful relatives, whether he is really clever or not. He tried it for you.
