This feature of Windows 8 is known as \u201cRestoring Previous Versions\u201d which enables users to restore deleted files without many efforts. \u201cPrevious Versions\u201d of your files are file backups or replicas that are created by system. How to enable this function?<\/p>\n<p>This function is called \u201cSystem Protection\u201d that creates restore points every week or after significant change happens (such as install programs). Restore points will not be created if \u201cSystem Protection\u201d is disabled. You need to set the disk space that will be taken by this function to save restore points.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see how Windows files can be recovered with the feature through a simple example:<\/p>\n<p>Imagine some files of your previous files have been deleted by mistake from your Windows 8 based system, and you have enabled the option \u201cSystem Protection\u201d for your system, then deleted files can be restored just by dint of following these steps:<\/p>\n<p>1. Find the folder that held those lost files and right click it.<\/p>\n<p>2. Then, select the item \u201cPrevious Versions\u201d and a list of previous versions of this folder will be generated.<\/p>\n<p>3. Select the version that you want to recover and double click it. Then you\u2019ll see deleted files and you can copy and paste them or just drag them to a safe place.<\/p>\n<p>With these simple steps, you\u2019ll be able to restore your deleted files in Windows 8. However, if the restore point is not created or the option is disabled when files get lost, then lost files won\u2019t be found in previous versions using this method. Besides, lost files can\u2019t be restored if that restore point is deleted by the tool itself due to the hard drive space limitation arranged to saving restore points.<\/p>\n<p>In such cases, it is recommended to use deleted data recovery freeware<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>such as Eassos Recovery Free which is able to recover deleted files for free. Wizard interface guides users to perform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eassos.com\/blog\/how-to-undelete-files-from-usb-flash-drive\/\">undelete files<\/a> step by step. Such tool neither requires the option \u201cSystem Protection\u201d be enabled nor lost files have restore points. Therefore, if you haven\u2019t enabled the option, then prepare data recovery freeware to safeguard files on hard drive or USB drives.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eassos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/recover-deleted-files-from-hard-drive-02.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2907 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eassos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/recover-deleted-files-from-hard-drive-02.png\" alt=\"Undelete files in Windows10\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eassos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/recover-deleted-files-from-hard-drive-02.png 900w, https:\/\/www.eassos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/recover-deleted-files-from-hard-drive-02-300x233.png 300w, https:\/\/www.eassos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/recover-deleted-files-from-hard-drive-02-768x597.png 768w, https:\/\/www.eassos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/recover-deleted-files-from-hard-drive-02-386x300.png 386w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windows 8 provides makes it faster to start up and shut down system and allows users to easily undelete files.
