Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home 4.7.3

Overview

Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home is a Windows recovery tool which can help the user when they run into difficulties with their Windows operating system.

One of the main advantages of using this software is the rescue CD or USB flash drive that can auto-boot the computer back into Windows. This can prevent a situation where a valid Windows installation will not boot-up correctly leaving the user unable to access Windows in order to perform a refresh operation or a re-installation of the original version stored on a hidden partition on the main disk.

The Windows Recovery module can repair boot systems completely from situations where a virus or corrupt Windows files are preventing the proper boot-up procedure to complete correctly.

When data stored on a hard drive, USB flash drive or memory card has become corrupted or deleted by mistake or through careless formatting, the software is also able to scan these storage media in an attempt to recover some, or all, of the data.

Passwords for local and administrator for domains can be recovered when lost or they cannot be remembered. The Windows installation key can also be confirmed if this is needed too.

For safe backups, the disk cloning option can be used to create a full disc image. This can be useful not only for backups but also when moving to a new system or replicating data on one drive over to another one.

Installation

The installation completed without any issues.

There was no adware, toolbars, spyware or malware included with the setup package.

Interface

The interface uses plenty of white space to make an attractive layout that doesn't look fussy.

The main screen has options presented both as icons and text instructions to burn a CD/DVD/USB drive, run Windows Recovery, run Data Recovery, perform a disc image or cloning process, or Recover Passwords.

Inside the main interface, there are section headings at the top and a long list of features selectable down the left sidebar specific to the feature selected on the start page mention above.
