wow thx for replying,

well, Yeah I used memo techniques for memorizing, and even wrote it down.

But when I install electrum and choose recover wallet. If I choose 1-factor and recover by seed, I am unable to open the program afterwards. (it just loads and then stops doing anything when I try to open)

If I choose 2-factor, and I am writing the seed, I am unable to click next. Because I think it wants me to upload a file (wallet?)

So the only possibility is to recover appdata from my formatted laptop ?
And how would I go about this, I have trying looking for help on the internet, but that has only gotten me more confused..

**** EDITED !! I got my bitcoin BACK! Thank you all so much for your help. Here's what the problem was (for other newbs). Apparently the newest version didn't work for retrieving my wallet. I went to **** EDITED!!
**** electrum and downloaded an older version, and BADABING my password worked for retrieving my lost wallet. So I didn't have to find my wallet file or anything, I only needed my password.           ****

Hi guys,

I formatted my hard drive on my laptop, and I thought that the seed was a way to recover my wallet?
I backed up the wrong files apparently (I didn't know about the appdata at the time)
- I know my seed by heart and got it written down as well. But I can't recover my wallet.

I have read tons of threads but found none with this specific problem.

Got no wallet file - so the question is, can I recover the wallet file on my formatted laptop?
Or can I recover my bitcoin with my seed somehow ? (I think it is a 2-factor wallet)

Thanks for reading - my best regards- Ofir
