My file was being override by my new laptop back-up due to the same file name. I was unable to get back my file except 100 photos with the free version, does the purchase software helps? I don't know if I should purchase the software.
Do you have any way or solution for me to get back my school stuff and pictures. It was a 1 TB external hard disk.
no purchase will not change the result, instead what you need to do is recover the data to a second drive (buy a 8 dollar 16gb memory stick if you need to)
why are you attempting to recover a file that still exists and thus (seemingly) wouldn't need to be recovered.

What do you mean by it still exist when I don't sees it? How to recover to a second drive?
please before going with Alan's answer. I simply mean, if the recovered file is trying to overwrite something, then the something being overwritten must still be in place (else there would be nothing to overwrite).
You need to restore the files to a separate piece of hardware (drive, flash-drive etc).

How do I restore into another file? Any steps to be done?
The back up software was just window's backup. It is not a zip file, my file contains picture, document, music and songs. I only manage to get back 100 photos from the free version.
The backup file created was my file Eileen and the file which contains my picture, document, music and songs are also in my file called Eileen. The window back up over ride my file which contains picture, document, music and songs. As for the back up, it contains nothing much because it was a new laptop.
So nothing could be done because I did not zip my file?

Not at all.
This is an entity and its path
E:\Downloads\NewFiles\ccsetup400
ccsetup400 could be a normal FILE or a normal FOLDER.
It is actually a file and the full name includes the extension ZIP, i.e.
ccsetup400.zip
By default Windows 7 will Hide extensions for known file types
I am quite certain that Windows 8 is similarly crippled and that you actually have two different entities which have the same name but a different extension.
Your Backup was either a Folder named "Eileen" or an archive file with an extension such as "Eileen.zip".
Your Windows 8 backup may have an extension.
I think there is a very good chance that :-
Your original EILEEN container of photos, videos etc is still present but Windows 8 is hiding it from you,
and Recuva has merely rescued REDUNDANT temporary backups that were created as you edited / added / organised your "EILEEN" container.
A simple search of your computer for "Eileen" might find what you need.
A search tool that might help you is
UltraFileSearch Lite Portable V.2.9.0.12349 32 January 2013 ZIP 1.30 MB Free Download
Recuva's pretty good. There are semi-pro level tools that cost about $100.00, and some will let you recover a small amount as a test before you buy. You'd have to conduct your own search online, as I typically don't endorse any products.
Consider, though, if a file has been overwritten not even ultra-pro $5,000 tools can do anything.
In some cases all that's needed are a sector or two. In this case, these are .jpg files and all sectors are needed. 1 missing byte out of a .jpg file is enough to render the image scrambled from an arbitrary point onwards.
