How to Recover Data from USB Flash Drive After Formatting
A Windows 7 computer was upgraded by a coworker of mine using a USB Windows 10 installation. Unfortunately, it was a USB stick with an automatic installer rather than a Windows 10 upgrade. Naturally, the automated installer first erased the drive. Even though the user had often been warned not to do this over the years, we now know that the hard drive held the necessary papers. Does anyone believe there is a prospect of recovery? If so, what software should I use?

Your first port of call should be EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard because it is not only a simple-to-use tool for recovering data but also accessible, posing no risk to your wallet.
In addition to USB flash drives, you can recover formatted hard drives, external HDDs, SD cards, memory sticks, and other PC-compatible storage devices. The following justifies our recommendation for this tool:
Here are the steps:
Step 1. Attach the USB drive to your computer. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard should be launched. Click "Scan" after selecting the formatted SD card or USB flash drive from which you want to recover deleted files.
Step 2. All scan results will be shown on the screen once finished. To locate the files you're looking for, use the "Filter" or "File Type" function.
Step 3. Choose the files you want to restore from your formatted external drive, then click "Recover." You will see a new box where you may select a new location to save the files. Click "OK" to confirm after that.
There are two categories of drive formatting:
Low-level formatting: This procedure leaves sector markers on the disk's surface, signaling the beginning of a recording block, restoring the disk to its initial factory settings, and wiping out all previously stored data.
High-level formatting, also known as fast formatting, typically takes place when installing an operating system or when inserting a new disk.
