Windows 7 File Recovery, Windows 7 file recovery tool to recover deleted files from windows 7 after formatting External Hard Drive,PC,laptop,desktop,SOLID-STATE DRIVE,USB Flash Drive,NAS,Flash Memory Card,External Hard Drive,Internal Hard Drive,Netbook,Notebook,Tablet,Ultrabook,Removable hard drive,compact flash lost data due to not formatted, not. If you prefer the way Windows 7’s backup worked to the way Windows 8’s File History backup works (read more about the differences here), you can click the Set up backup link in the Windows 7 File Recovery window to create a Windows 7-style backup schedule. The process will be the same as setting up the backup and restore feature on Windows.

Yes, Windows 8.1 completely removes the 'Windows 7 File Recovery' from the control panel.

(Along with the insistence that you link a Microsoft Account during installation to, necessarily, use their cloud I can't believe that this is anything but their evil marketing department making these choices rather than a heartfelt concern for the best user experience.)

Windows 7 Backup and Restore deprecated:

How are we supposed to back up baremetal to an external drive now?? I don't see where this functionality is replaced.

I've tried WBADMIN commands but for example with wbAdmin delete systemstatebackup -keepVersions:3 (or wbAdmin delete backup -keepVersions:3)

I get:

Warning: The DELETE SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP command is not supported in this version of Windows. The operation ended before completion.

Are there other commands that replace this functionality?

An immediate problem is that I have a Windows Action flagged to 'check my backup results' which does nothing when I click it and I can't dismiss it. Next, I have a backup scheduled and I don't know if the backup schedule will be kept now in 8.1, but if it does, it will fill up my backup drive if I can't wbAdmin delete systemstatebackup them.

Thanks!

It is still here but hidden. You have to go to the File History options, here you see a link:

A couple of points:

  1. 'File history' is not the same thing as the file-system backup features provided by the 'windows 7 file recovery' (ie the Win7 Backup utility). It can back up some of the same things, but is end-user oriented and does not seem to have the ability easily to back up 'system' or non0user files that aren't located within the user 'libraries'

  2. system imaging is OK for bare-metal disk images, but doesn't have the granularity of the file-system backup utility we used to have. It's not really the same thing although it might satisfy the given requirement.

IIRC, the file format for the backups was 'vhd' which is a virtual disk format. It's been on my list to try mounting a 'backup' file as virtual disk (most VM porducts can read these, eg vmware, vrtualbox, hyperv, virtual-pc). I did some experiments with this years ago at it looked promising, but I never pursued it. I guess I'll have to resurrect that effort.

I think this is another example of how MS product management has gone overboard on the end-user tablet-oriented functionality at the cost of the enterprise user and manager.

When you download Windows from Microsoft Store, you have two options: You can download a collection of compressed files, or you can download an ISO file. An ISO file combines all the Windows installation files into a single uncompressed file.


If you choose to download an ISO file so you can create a bootable file from a DVD or USB drive, copy the Windows ISO file onto your drive and then run the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool. Then simply install Windows onto your computer directly from your USB or DVD drive.


When you download the ISO file, you must copy it onto a USB or DVD. When you're ready to install Windows, insert the USB drive or DVD with the ISO file on it and then run Setup.exe from the root folder on the drive.

This allows you to install Windows onto your machine without having to first run an existing operating system. If you change the boot order of drives in your computer's BIOS, you can run the Windows installation directly from your USB drive or DVD when you first turn on your computer. Please see the documentation for your computer for information about how to change the BIOS boot order of drives.

Making copies
  • To install the software, you can make one copy of the ISO file on a disc, USB flash drive, or other media.


  • After you’ve installed the software and accepted the license terms that accompany the software, those license terms apply to your use of the software. The license terms for Windows permit you to make one copy of the software as a back-up copy for re-installation on the licensed computer. If you do not delete your copy of the ISO file after installing the Windows software, the copy of the ISO file counts as your one back-up copy.

Windows

If you need to download the software again, you can go to your Download Purchase History in your Microsoft Store account and access the download there.
