      You can install the free version, which offers 2GB of free recovery data: www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/free-data-recovery-software.htm.
      However, if you have lost a lot of data and it is important, it is recommended to purchase the Pro version, which offers unlimited data recovery.

    I now have this 4TB that shows up almost filled up, but it only shows the Root folders. They all show as empty but the drive sows as almost full. Hidden files doesn't show anything that contains files. I can't bring back any of the files by trying various methods including those shown in the video.
    The drive was RAW (But shown as NTFS in Easeus) and inaccessible at the start, so I ran chkdsk fix and after that I added user rights to be able to open it. But I can't find any info on bringing the files back, so that means file recovery is the next step. I hate file recovery on 4TB drives.

    My old 2TB OS HDD is failing to boot, so I've removed it from that pc and put it in an external case.
    When I try it in the external case, using another Win 10 pc I have, as well as a Win 11 mini-pc, the external cased 2TB HDD is recognized by those pc's, the files are accessible.
    When I tried EaseUS to clone, it automatically wants to put the new pc that I'm running EaseUS on as the Source (the C: drive), only giving me the option of putting the E: drive that I want to use as source or the D: drive that I want to use as the 4TB HDD destination, as destinations. How can I tell it NOT to use C: as Source, but to use the external cased E: drive as the Source to clone from?

      A drive letter is an alphabetic character identifying a physical computer disk or drive partition. Windows will assign an accessible drive letter by default, to any storage device. It starts from A to Z, going through all the alphabet. Windows will assign an accessible drive letter by default, to any storage device.

      It seems like the folder/file is locked. You can unlock the target folder/file and try again.

      Please make sure to run the CMD in administrator and enter the file path is correct. Try it again.
