You should always have your data backed up externally. Installing over the data is VERY RISKY!

But if you have Windows.old in C drive then your data may be in there under your User name.

All files of any importance need at least one backup copy while those of particular importance need 2 or more backup copies. When doing anything that might put your data at risk, such as installing a new OS, it is doubly important to have a backup. Having no backups is asking for trouble and sooner or later you WILL experience data loss which cannot be recovered.
