    Data Recovery, Laptop Bricked

    Hello Everyone.

    I am very frustrated. I bought a new laptop last August, and Dell’s migration software didn’t work. So their customer support strung me along for EIGHT MONTHS. Accomplishing absolutely nothing but wasting days of my time. Eventually I bought an external hardrive and a 3rd party software to try to clone it myself. Because **** that. Well just then my audio drivers crashed, or something happened to my speakers. So I contact Windows support, who promptly reinstall my OS, and manage to brick my ******* PC!!!

    So the windows guy after asking if I need any more assistance (!) tells me I should try Best Buy. I go to Best Buy, and they don’t do what I ask or what they said, but they did manage to make a ‘backup’ from the crashed computer to the new computer. It’s just a folder with one or two hundred GB of data on my desktop. How can I restore/clone my old laptop from this backup? I would like to keep as much as possible: format, shortcuts, settings, etc. What is the most efficient way to restore my computer from this? Also, if anybody knows someone smarter than Best Buy who might be able to fix my other computer, I would appreciate it.

    It has now been over a year that I bought this laptop (paperweight) that has sat there gathering dust while I get jerked around and ****** over by Dell and Microsoft. I have dropped two grand to have my main computer crashed. I need help or advice, I am at the end of my sanity.

    PCData back is an intuitive data backup and restore tool. It is fully portable, and is very fast and easy to use.

        Being that the OP revisited the forum but chose not to acknowledge the reply #2 of Mal this thread will be closed.
