An upgrade can save all your info in a Windows.old file, a complete re install will wipe everything out. As suggested, you have to talk to the tech and ask him exactly what he did. There are ways of retrieving the data, start by Googleing how to retrieve the info.

Hi,
My computer technician updated my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7 , but unfortunately when I turned on my computer all of the accounts that were previously on it prior to the updating were deleted. Is there a way to recover those deleted accounts and the files on them, and is it necessary for a computer technician to delete accounts in order to update a computer? ![]() Download this program and type in Windows old and I'm sure you will find it. When I did a complete clean install of Windows 7, it was still saved. Download Everything Good luck. You should be in the habit of creating an image of your OS- here are some tips: If you purchase a Seagate, WD or Maxtor, you can get the Acronis Trueimage software (free) and make an image of your OS and put it on your external hdd. ( or my preference on anotherinternal hdd) If you need to recover your OS ( including programs, updates, etc) you can do it with a few clicks. You can also use Easeus for free and any hdd will work. Seagate - DiscWizard | Seagate WD - WD Support Easeus - EASEUS Todo Backup Free 6.1 Download for Windows / FileHorse.com Thanks for the information. I'll give it a try. ![]() |

Not having files which you need backed up at all times is reckless.
Here's an automated free way to Sync, Backup and Store your Files to the Cloud with Skydrive - Windows 7 Forums which can on all devices sync your user folders from a master set kept on the internet where they are always accessible to you via a Windows Live account. |

You should always back up all data. Anytime anyone touches your computer always have your data backed up.
