WINDOWS
For making the application work for any Windows device of yours, take some simple steps. The installation process starts with downloading the software from an authentic website. It is very crucial to remember that the disk from which your data has been lost should not be the storage target for saving this file. You surely have better places to save it at some better place. Once you are done with the download you will be provided with an executable file. This file possess an icon of a Software Manager application.
Proceed further with opening the same file to head start the installation part. This is the stage where the window of privileges elevation of software with digital moniker will appear.

LINUX

Go ahead to open this file for installing the software. Sometimes issues are faced with the file permission task. If this happens to you too, you should open the terminal and ascribe the execute rights that in turn facilitates opening up of the file.
Ordinary or limited users will be asked by the software manager for execution rights elevation. It is recommended to use a user account with elevated rights for running installer. When the installer application is launched, the final step is to continue with the software installation with the Software Manager.
macOS
The initial part with macOS is identical to the previous two platforms. It is still important to mention that you don’t have to save the file in the same storage from which you have lost your data. As the download is successfully done users get a .zip archive with macOS.
On unpacking the archive’s contents in Finder, an .install file is produced. To resume software installation, users are supposed to run this application so as to start the Software Manager.

The software comes with an activated search of lost and deleted files by default. Rest of the setting options are free to be amended. User can choose between the skip or search with the given drop-down list.
Various Setting Options:
From the recycle bin– This makes the program carry on examination of local PC recycle bin for deleted or lost data. Its default setting is search.
By known content– If program is set to search, recovery results are more advanced as both the metadata and content disk area are scanned. At the same time, when it is made to skip it restricts itself to conduct simple search and RAM is not saved in the process.
Small (diskette) file systems– This setting of program triggers the application to scan the file system and also detect the small file systems lost amongst the system files. Most of the time the setting is made to skip these days as diskette file systems are no longer in trend.
If there are no user files– When the search option is activated, scanning of file systems without user files is done. And when there are only system files in the file system, skip option allows the omission of the file systems without user files.
