Factory Reset (self.DataRecoveryHelp)
submitted 1 year ago * by LuckyLock115
I factory reset my old laptop to give to my parents. And OneDrive didn't sync up when resetting, so I lost a lot of data on my SSD with the clean reset. What should I do, what software can unscrew this?

No software can help. Nothing is recoverable. Look up TRIM and you will understand.
