        2 minutes of surfing found this article,
        https://www.techrepublic.com/article/reset-your-windows-10-system-with-the-keep-my-files-option/

        Suggest have a read as it will explain things well. Notepad++ is just like every other application so there should be a good chance you won’t lose the data.

        As with any error of this type with Windows, there are no guarantees. If you need that guarantee the best way to get it would be to remove the hard drive and connect it to another system which can attempt to copy or backup the data.
