Windows Laptop attacked by Ransomware

in theory yes, but its not guranteed.
also most malware just encrypts the files and dont keep the file structure, so you have to remember and put files back in their place.
The encrypted files are already in their directories. I didn't see any malware moving files from their original directories after encryption.

Maybe a naive question, sometimes if they get paid do they send the decryption key and can all data be recovered again?
They want you to believe that so that you pay them but since they had malicious intentions in the first place why would you ever trust them? These people have no morale morals.
