Deleted all of my files off laptop and then converted to windows 8?! how do I recover?

Since "System Restore" is part of Windows, if you take Windows off the hard drive, you will have nothing--no "System Restore", no Windows, no files of any kind. The hard drive will be blank. That laptop will be a doorstop.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
