Here are the steps to recover data from a crashed Windows 10 in one paragraph:

Step 1. Create a bootable disk

To create a bootable USB, start by preparing an empty USB drive, either by copying any data to another device or simply removing it from any existing content. This ensures the USB is blank and ready for the bootable disk creation process. Once prepared, you can use tools like Deep Data Recovery WinPE Edition to create a bootable USB. This process will erase the data on the USB, so ensure you've backed up any important files before proceeding. The tool will guide you through the steps to create a bootable disk, allowing you to use the USB to boot into an operating system or run specific software.

Connect a USB drive to your PC, then launch the Deep Data Recovery WinPE Edition software. From there, select the USB drive and click the "Create" button to create a bootable disk.

Step 2. Boot from the bootable USB

Connect a bootable disk to the PC that won't boot and change the boot sequence in the BIOS settings, usually by pressing F2 at startup. This often resolves the issue.

To boot the PC from a device other than the hard drive, press F10 to save and exit the settings, selecting "Removable Devices" or "CD-ROM Drive" as the boot priority. This allows you to boot from a bootable USB disk or CD/DVD instead of the hard drive.

Step 3. Recover data from a hard drive that won't boot

When booting from a USB, you can run Deep Data Recovery from the WinPE bootable disk. This allows you to select the drive to scan and recover lost files.

Click "Scan" to start the scanning process.

After scanning, you can preview and recover data from the computer or laptop by selecting the targeted files and clicking the "Recover" button, saving the recovered data to another place to avoid data overwriting.

After recovering your essential data, you can reach out to Microsoft support or online resources for help repairing your crashed Windows 10 OS. A clean install of Windows 10 is often the most effective solution to resolve this issue.
