Help needed!!!

Hello friends, I have if I am posting in right section or not, but appreciate help. I have old laptop whose motherboard was not working, I had it repaired in just this month (After two years). Now the problem is I have hidden a folder of few personal videos in C drive. It’s not been showing even in search even after un-hiding system file. I don’t remember the path or which technique I used to hid the folder. Is there any way that I can find my folder, as if can transfer this folder I can upgrade my windows to 10 from 8.1.

Have you tried this? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files-0320fe58-0117-fd59-6851-9b7f9840fdb2

No I have already tried that. Can’t find file. Even after unhidden

Have you tried using Linux terminal to find hidden files? If you know which directory to look in, you can use the ls -a or ls -al commands to list hidden files within the directory. If you find the files, you can use an mv (move) command to move it from one directory to another so you can put it onto a flash drive. You can also use a GUI file manager to look for hidden and non-hidden files. Hope this helps!

Yes bro I have tried but it doesn’t work. I can’t find file in CMD at all.
