protect my data i had applied encrytion to all the folders and files in this

Sorry, unless you saved the encryption certificate, it is not possible

to decrypt your files.

This won't be what you want to hear but:

 

Unless you exported the encryption certificates before you reinstalled

Windows, I'm afraid that you are SOOL. The decryption keys were overwritten

when you replaced Windows. There is (currently) no known way of recovering

the data.

Yet another person who used encryption with no need to. What State

leve secrets were you storing on your computer for the Government?

There are easier ways to hide you porno collection. Now it is gone
