Problem

I am sending my Windows disk for data recovery, as it is not detected due to bad NAND (needs translator rebuild) or if I am lucky a capacitor is shorted.

Question

  1. I assume I wouldn’t be able to boot the windows installation.
  2. How to extract as much data as I can.
  3. How to know what data is NOT recovered ?or is damaged.

Data I think is most important -

  1. Files
  2. Userdata folder
  3. List of browser extension (chrome, firefox)
  4. Extension data.
  5. chrome://flags.
  6. Bookmarks.
  7. Taskbar pinned app list
  8. List of installed UWP apps.
  9. What else am I forgetting ?
