I have Pavilion Laptop 15-eg0097nr, Windows 11.
I ran factory reset 2 weeks ago.
I wonder that I can roll back before the factory rest.
Especially I want recovery of windows file explorer.
Thanks for your help in advance.

The procedure, according to MS, is the following:
1. Press Windows+I to open Settings.
2. Click Update & security.
3. Click Recovery on the left-hand side.
4. Under Go back to the previous version of Windows, click Get started.
But the standard allowable period is 10 days, so this is probably too late.
You might be tempted to try System Restore, but that is misnamed because it does not restore the Computer System; instead, all it does is back out Windows Updates.
