maxarth Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I have a Microsoft Surface tablet and lost some pictures. Is there any programs that could help retrieve them. I am running win 8.1 and did not have file history on. Any programs I try say it cant run. I have not used it since the loss happened. Thank you for any help. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 27, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 27, 2014 Surface or Surface pro? ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators mta Posted September 27, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 27, 2014 the Surface has the RT architecture which is not compatible with ANY normal Windows software that doesn't run on a RISC OS. the Pro's are the ones that would run CC for example. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators hazelnut Posted September 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2014 How did you 'lose' the photos? You didn't have One Drive or anything like that on where you might have an auto backup? I think you may be out of luck as Nergal said Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2014 I didn't say that but afaik that is the case. The surface (non pro) is just a glorified tablet, and not a full PC so you cannot run any PC software sorry ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Moderators mta Posted September 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2014 have you checked the Recycle Bin? (just in case) since the Surface RT wasn't a big seller, and software for it is only available through the Store, chances of getting a file recovery program are probably zero. if the files are important enough, and I have no idea if this is even possible or if it will wreck the Surface, but it may be possible to pull it about, remove the flash storage and connect it to another device for retrieval. lots of 'what ifs' with that option and it all depends on the importance of the data lost.
