How to Retrieve Pictures after Factory Reset Laptop?

“I had hard time switching on my laptop as it not turning on. As soon as it got back to power, the first thing I did was to hit on restore setting option to get rid of unwanted data and applications that were installed. Well, after resetting the laptop, I found out that image files saved on laptop are missing. Two days prior, I had backed up all photos from my Smartphone to laptop and saved those files on desktop screen. Now, I am unable to find them, either they might have got deleted or missing from laptop. Is there a way to find those missing photos from laptop after factory reset? Any suggestions for recovering lost pictures would be greatly helpful. Thanks!”
