Which today I'm still shocked the he recovered my files like family photos /videos ,Stevie'Mac stuff.personal documents and other stuff you dont want to loose in cyberspace.My engineer also tried to recover an SD card for me but no luck since they are difficult when the internal control integrated circuit fries up.Which an new Nikon Coolpix camera fried it which I returned it for an new one..If the SD card was screwed up with software only problem .My engineer probably have no problems on recovering the files from it.AS long you dont add"write anymore photos and other files on it.You will have better chances on getting all of your files intacted .I hope this will help all of you in the future.

You're completely right, and those are all the recommendation the last engineer told me, just I didn't know that also simple googling could be a problem.
Yeah, I should have made a backup but my PC is relatively new (2 years old on November) and since I had moved all my stuff from my old computer I began to save money for an external hard drive. I didn't want to do a back up with CDs because I needed more than 6 of them, so I was waiting until I'd save enough and then with my parents help for my birthday (the 30th of October) I would have finally obtained my external memory.
Unfortunately the Windows 10 Update started bugging me every damn time I opened or closed my PC. Since also everyone started bugging me that I was the only one not updating it for free, I decided to do it. The rest is history.
