The best way to get critical data is to remove the hard drive from the broken PC and put it into a USB hard drive adapter box. Then you can plug it into another computer to copy the data. These adapters cost less than $50 US. You SHOULD NOT reinstall Windows on the broken machine as this will erase the stored data. After you have recovered/copied you data you can reinstall the hard drive in the broken machine and reinstall Windows. Good Luck
