Step-by-Step Guide: Using the Portable Version

Unlike software that requires complex installation, using the portable version is straightforward:

Step 1: Preparation

Download the Wondershare Recoverit 12611 x64 Multilingual Portable package (usually as a ZIP or RAR archive).
Extract the contents using WinRAR or 7-Zip directly to a USB drive (e.g., E:\Recoverit_Portable).

Step 2: Launching the Software

Navigate to the extracted folder.
Locate Recoverit.exe (The icon is usually a bright green or blue data icon).
Right-click and select "Run as Administrator" (This is vital for accessing raw disk sectors).

Step 3: Selecting the Location

The interface will load in your system’s default language (or select English/your language via the Settings menu).
You will see a list of all connected drives: Local Disk (C:), External drives, and USB devices.
Critical Rule: Do not select the USB drive where the software is running. Select the target drive (the one with lost data).

Step 4: Scanning and Filtering

Click "Start." The software performs a Quick Scan first.
As files are found, use the Filter bar. Type *.jpg to find only photos, or change the file size filter to >5MB to find large videos.
If Quick Scan doesn't find your files, click "Deep Scan" (This can take 1–3 hours depending on drive size).

Step 5: Recovery

Check the boxes next to the files you want.
Click "Recover."
CRITICAL: Save the recovered files to a different drive than the one you are scanning. Save them to your USB drive or a secondary internal hard disk (D: drive). Never save to the C: drive if that is the broken drive.

Step 6: Recover to a Safe Location

Select the files you need. Click “Recover.” Choose a destination drive that is NOT the one you are recovering from (e.g., recover to D: if scanning C:). Save the recovered files to a zip folder or directly to another external drive.

1. The "Portable" Advantage (The Key Selling Point)

The standout feature of this specific release is the Portable tag.

Why it matters: When you accidentally delete a file, installing new software on the same drive often overwrites the very data you are trying to save. The portable version allows you to run the executable directly from a USB thumb drive.
Usability: It saves the necessary configuration files in the same folder as the executable, leaving the host computer's registry and program files untouched. This is crucial for forensic integrity and maximizing recovery chances.
