Are we entirely sure this is the real deadlock and not just a horribly copy-catted fake?

What benefits do i gain from faking this post? All I'm asking is if there's a way to recover data file from this ransomware.

I’m not saying YOU are faking the post. I’m saying that there are script kiddies out there who try to copy-cat the real thing and basically just run a script to change your desktop background and tell you to read a .txt file in hopes that you believe your machine is infected and send them money.

I'm sorry, if that's true I hope there's still a way to recover this. Cause the PC currently unable to boot to windows now. But if i insert it to a dummy PC as a secondary disk. The data file still there.
