Weird question, I wouldn't find that unusual. I mean what if I worked in a PC shop or something? Yes I have 2 old PC's (1 XP the other windows 7), 1 laptop (vista), and the other an external drive (Maxthon), they are all old. The first one I tried was the windows 7 PC, which comes up with over 1million files, then it doesn't let me save them (recover them), I try cancelling to start again and it does nothing. 17 hours each time and I've tried 3 times so far but have given up. I sit for an hour (after it says it has found all the files) and nothing happens so I have to close down, i.e. restart my machine with a hard shut down. I create content for gaming. I am unable to find the work files for some CC that I remember, hence searching my old computers for them. No I never did throw them away and I'm glad I didn't. The external hard drive has yielded some results and I know for a fact that many of the things I'm looking for are on this windows 7 PC.
Sadly I did think the pro version might be better which leads me to wonder why people pay for it at all then.
It would be fab to get a tip on how I can recover the files it finds. Yes I have read through the forum.
