Due to Fraudulent activity on my Windows 10 PC, I have performed a full system reset to factory settings and installed a new version of Windows 10.

I have been using Windows Live Mail (or it’s predecessors) for several years, and I have a full file history back-up on a portable Drive, which contains the WLM data files (e-mails of last 3 years), held on the C: Drive

As it was possible that the third-party access had been gained some time ago, I also cleaned my second portable drive containing my full system backups which contained the WLM software, but unfortunately did not realise that Microsoft would no longer provide the facility to download the WLM suite of programs.

What are my options to regain access to the folders containing these e-mails?

Thanks Alan
