How can I get pictures back?

[Windows Central Question]

I need to get pictures back.

So, I had a sample pictures folder in my pictures and I had more picture folders within the folder (Stupid, I know) and then I updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10, without backing anything up. (Stupid, I know) and after the update I couldn't find those pictures at all and now I'm freaking out big time. Please help. How do I get those pictures back from that sample picture folder.

I would try using an undelete tool such as Recuva, but I'm not confident they'll all be there.
