    I have a completely dead external hard drive and EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard 7.5 won't retrieve it and there is loads of important stuff on it. Is there any other version of EaseUS Data Recovery that I could try?

    When you say dead, you mean its not turning on? if there's physical damage to the HD, then software won't retrieve it. What HD is it, HDD, SSD?

    If it's important, get a professional. Everything you do now that doesn't work decreases the chances of a successful recovery

    It's making a sound when it's plugged in as if it's spinning around. It's HDD

    Unplug it and send it to a pro. Each time the platters spin and the heads try to read data you are risking more, and permanent damage.
