    Hello,

    If you're using the Windows File Recovery utility, then yes, you will need to use the Command Prompt.

    The general syntax to use is winfr source-drive: destination-drive: /mode /switch. I would recommend that you first start with mode /regular and then using a wildcard to specify video files with /n *.mp4 (change mp4 to whatever extension you need).

    Make sure that the source and destination drives are different.

    For more information on the Windows File Recovery utility, refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/experience/backup-recovery/windows-file-recovery

    If you're using a different app, please let me know, and I can assist with that as well.

    I hope this information helps, and please let me know how this goes.
