How Can I Recover A Microsoft Word File That I Overwrote?

Question

I was making a word document, and I realized I wanted the old version of the document back. I didn't delete it. I just saved the document with different information in it. How can I get it back for free?

Answer 1

Unless you previously saved an older version of the file under a different name, you have lost your data:

The new info will have been saved on the same sectors on the drive as the old.
