system recovery: lost everything

meesterperfect

Hiliary 2020
hi everybody.
well today my computer wouldn't start after a restart.
tried about 20 times.
so I stupidly hit f10 system restore not being aware that it would delete all my files.
It did.
Now my computer is exactly the same as when I bought it.
same dumb programs, same settings, and all my photos and video (not just porn) are gone.
My favorites, my passwords, my programs, everything gone
I have windows xp.
I know it is possible to retrieve these files, but its complicated and I can't find any info on how, just websites trying to sell solutions.
I talked to a computer guy and he wants $150 to get them back, if possible, no guarantees.

Anybody know how to do this?
I appreciate any help.
