If you can’t find it in the trash bin than you can’t recover them due to the encryption.

That’s a question where you have many options. But these are not enough information.

So you would need to ask question that would enclose a specific answer.

Re install windows

Flash the newest Windows ISO on a USB stick and Boot from it and follow the setup

And you can start via USB because this system is seperated from windows.

Than change all passwords

Enable 2fa

Get a adblocker

Don’t run stuff from untrusted sources

Use Windows defender as av

And you’re fine

Just Re install windows

Flash the newest Windows ISO on a USB stick and Boot from it and follow the setup

First of all don’t reply or sent any money.

Check your pc for Keylogger. Use Windows defender and malwarebytes.

If it found a Keylogger re install windows.

Change your passwords

Enable 2fa

Remove all devices from the accounts

And contact your bank

And you’re fine.

Just go to the disk manager and format the drive.

You can try it with your notebook. But the chances are low.

You can try to contact Google with all the documents and see if they help. But normally they won’t help due to their policies.

I’m beeing honest with your the chances are low.

Just safe the files than re install.

Re install windows

Flash the newest Windows ISO on a USB stick and Boot from it and follow the setup

That’s the safest way.

It doesn’t happen out of the blue.

Did you installed something from a untrusted source or opened a file? Or something simular.

If not than you’re fine.

8 GB 8snt Real much for Windows 10/11.

The average is 16.

Windows needs around 3-4gb only to operate.

So your 50 percent isn’t really much especially if you have one or two programs that run in the background.

And windows will use as much ram as possible. Unused ram is useless.

So as long as you don’t get memory errors you’re fine.

And i would upgrade in the future.

You never use data recovery tool on the original drive.

Only use it on a clone.

Otherwise you will make it worse.

System image than you have everything.

Use it for yourself.

Renting is a bad idea.

You can’t be fully anonymous on the internet.

Someone always has the information. If you use a VPN the VPN company has all your information.

And since https your provider only knows what website you’re visiting but doesn’t know what you click on these websites.

Check your manual.

But the 24 pin should be self explaining.

Additional you could watch a tutorial.

I mean you have diffrent Hardware so nothing unodinary that it performs better.

But we can’t tell you in detail because your information says nothing about the exact hardware.

But nearly 2 minutes for opening chrome tabs is long. This sounds like something is wrong with your installation or application.

First of all this doesn’t sound like you got hacked.

You don’t get a virus if you simply click on a link.

If you suspect a virus than it’s always the safest option to re install windows via USB stick.

And you don’t need these 3th party av. Especially these two they are just junk and bloatware. And never install 2 av that will kill everything.

Use only Windows defender.

If you want to be safe just change passwords and enable 2fa.

And you’re fine.

You’re fine.

You can check the trash bin.

If they aren’t in there than they are gone.

If you have a device with pop3 you could check if they are still there.

You can check the last devices that where logged in if they aren’t deleted.

Didn’t your lawyer suggested to safe them?

You can ask your lawyer to contact Google support. So they know that it’s for a case. But the chances feo recovery are small.
