partitioning - Can I recover Windows files from a dual-boot (Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10) overwritten by Ubuntu?

I wanted to format Ubuntu partition by Ubuntu LiveUSB, but I accidentally format both Ubuntu and Windows partition. Now there is only a partition containing Ubuntu.
I'm trying to use TestDisk from LiveUSB, but with Quick Search it finds only Ubuntu old files and with Deeper Search it finds several MS Data partitions that can't be opened because "filesystems are damaged".
If possible, I would like to see the whole process to recover Windows files step-by-step, because I don't want to deep search again uselessly (it took me 32 hours).
