Recovering data from Windows system is very easy with the help of free data recovery software. No doubt Recuva allow to recover lost data at free of cost. However, I believe paid tools give more efficient result than a free data recovery tool. I have tried one name as Stellar Windows data recovery – Home that tool recovered each and every single deleted files from my hard drive.
ya bro I agree with you. But not everyone can afford the paid tools to recover the lost data or I say not everyone is willing to pay for paid recovery tools. So, as we go for the free one, recuva is the best. 🙂
Hi! Do you know anything about this solution https://www.acronis.com/en-us/personal/how-to-recover-files/ ? It is interesting to know your opinion.
Hy Matthew,
As my friends have used Acronis, they consider it to be a really good software but only the paid version. You can only recover few files/folders in the free version and then you have to pay.
So, if you are ready to pay 50$ then go ahead with Acronis or stick to Recuva it’s the best free software for this purpose.
