Notepad text lost? Transfer help
-
Hello! So I recently reinstalled Windows 7 and I moved my notepad++ to my SSD so it didn’t get deleted… and it did. All of my saved notes are gone. I have a windows.old file but I’m not sure where I could find my old notepads. Can someone please help? Thank you!

I would try to use software like recuva
in the hope that the new installation hasn’t overwritten the files.Cheers
