You had Windows 10 Pro N installed but a Windows 10 Pro key that doesn't work with the N version. After reinstalling Windows 10 Pro, it warned you that your software would be removed unless files were kept. Contrary to that, your files were deleted and the software remained but didn’t function properly. I tried Recuva from Piriform, but the entries were too many and unclear. There are no restore options in the system. Are there other possibilities?
This might not be useful at the moment... but it’s good practice to back up your files. If you’re using Windows, look for a folder named Windows.old on your C: drive. Explore the C:\Users directory to see if a new user was added during a system change—your files could be hidden there. Try searching the entire C: drive with any part of a missing file’s name. If they’re completely gone, consider using a recovery tool such as Recuva. ALWAYS restore any found files to another location! A USB flash drive or external HDD works well for this task.
Here’s what appears on your C: Drive page:
