Your first step should be to get a full sector-by-sector clone of the drive and make sure nothing further is written back to the original. Then, after you get the clone completed, connect the clone to another system that has the data recovery software you wish to scan the drive with installed. I recommend using R-Studio or Raise Data Recovery.

No data recovery program is going to be able to under the overwriting, so any file that has been overwritten is permanently lost. You may have major issues recovering your files if encryption was enabled prior to the install.

If your data is of value, it is probably wise to seek professional assistance.

For the record, I've used Raise Data Recovery to do that when I was in the same situation, and it did the job just fine!
