Windows 8 data loss
When I installed windows 8.1 it formatted my all disk what can I do
No it just formatted automatically and I did not done anything
it's okay, you can do nothing at this point and take your hard drive to a professional to recover it for you, it can be expensive but might be worth it if the data is valuable to you.
if you proceed to install an OS and partition your hard drive, you basically lower the chance of recovering your data as you will overwrite on those data.
Microsoft has a new tool for file recovery, you can install Windows 10 and use that tool to attempt a file recovery
