Dead computer

[Playground Buddy 0]

My principal note keeping device, a laptop, failed in December. I replaced it and signed in to Evernote. I have most of my stuff but it seems that at least a couple of months of notes on the dead laptop are not in my current files (new laptop, online or phone). If I recover the hard drive from the failed laptop, can I just copy files to recover this work, or should I try to get the old computer to reboot one more time?

Notes are in a big database, so you cannot restore just one note. A few options:

1 get it to boot and sync one more time putting those notes in your account. 

2 copy the database to your current PC. You would lose any changes on your PC not yet in the cloud so make sure it is synced. 

3 copy the database to another PC and sync it, or export the missing notes an ENEX files and import them on your current pc. 

There are other ways but mostly a variation of the above.

Is there any chance that you used a different account for these notes.

Evernote is a cloud service, with our data maintained on servers
