Friends,

My laptop crashed and I reinstalled Windows. During the process, a USMT.MIG file was created on my external HDD with the data recovered from my Laptop. Now I want to recover this data. I don't have advanced knowledge of these things. I read a few articles but did not able to recover data.

Can anybody tell me how to do this in detail, please?

Dear Friend,

Thank you for the reply and sorry for the delayed response.

I have downloaded 'Windows Assessment Console. However, still, the command 'UsmtUtils.exe' is not working in cmd.

I don't know how to recover my data. Please tell me what to do next.

Thank you
