Missing Files after Win 10 upgrade

[DakotaDidYou]

I did a fresh install of windows to my 250gb Samsung SSD, but now I can't find any of the files that were present on my 1tb Western Digital HDD. Does anyone have any ideas on where they are and how to get them back?

You can try recovery tool such as EASE US Recovery Tool and scan your HHD, you should able to get your files back as long as they haven't be rewritten. 

 

You should have unplugged your HDD when you fresh install windows, as windows like to leave it crap partition in all drives connected during installs.
