I reinstalled Ubuntu few months ago. By accident I chose to install Ubuntu without Windows (I had dual boot operating systems before that).

This is a disaster! I lost all my data in Windows and lost the operating system as well.

Do you know if I can recover my operating system? Bring Windows back to the laptop, or at least recover those data files in Windows?

You won't be able to get Windows back as a functional system. Or at least, it's too unlikely to even attempt. However, you have good chances of finding your files. You might want to have a look at the testdisk package for a utility called photorec. It's very good and not too difficult to use, although you should read up before using it.
