Sorry to hear that. Are you sure the photos are gone?, you'd need to format the hard drive to do that. If you didn't format then maybe they are still there somewhere, you just can't see them at the moment?

What do you use it for?
It's worth looking at chrome books for basic use, I find it so much simpler and it doesn't need updating/restarting every time I turn the bloody thing on!

Tinhead is right mate. They are very seldom gone. A good pc guy will usually get them back
Had it twice myself.

You could keep everything and just replace the hard drive, get yourself a solid state one as they've come right down in price, then load Windows 10 onto it.
Then at your leisure you can go about retrieving the photos from the old one

It's also worth checking if the pics were auto backed up to onedrive unless you've managed to disable it

Happened to me twice Gerry, after the 1st time I swore I'd back up to a external hard drive, I didn't, 2nd time I learned my lesson :-( I now back up the back up fgs 
I buy refurb pc's now from Ebay, latest 1 is 3 years old, no issues what so ever, think it was £70, quad core too, very fast for my needs if not a bit ott maybe.

If your still struggling Gerry drop me a pm I might be able to help you getting your lost photos back.
Even when you format a hard drive most things are still retrievable with certain software.
