Greetings, Windows 8 users! In this tutorial we will show you how to configure your Windows 8 in such a way that it will recover your deleted files. We will demonstrate it using Windows 8.1 version.
The feature responsible for recovering deleted or modified files in Windows 8 is called “File History”. There are alternative methods of using other third-party software for file restoration (like Recuva and other programs), but these methods will not work if you use an SSD hard drive. Therefore we’ll feature File History as the universal method.
You’ll have to enable this feature, because it is not activated by default. Before enabling it, make sure that you have either an internal or external backup hard drive in your PC. If you’re working on a computer that backs up to a network, the way of using File History will be a little bit different.
