Can I interrupt the disk scan ("chkdsk /f d:"), in order to preserve the results of work already done?

Can I somehow interrupt the scan disk process ("chkdsk /f d:") at this moment to preserve the results of its previous work? As you can see in the picture, it has already processed 6,080,000 files out of 14 million.
I would like the recovered data to be saved, then restart Windows, add more RAM and processor power, and start the scan disk again. This is Windows 10 Pro. (The disk was previously scanned for several days on another computer running Windows 7 and it corrupted all the files, so now Win10 needs to restore them because the NTFS in Win7 and Win10 differ, and the disk was mainly used with Win10.)

Yes, you can cancel disk scanning "chkdsk /f d:", but you will not be able to keep the results of your current work. If you want to stop the scan in order to preserve recovered files, you must let it finish and see which files have been restored. Then, you will need to restart the system, add more RAM memory and processing power, and then run the scan again. However, please note that disk scanning can take a long time, so it is worth running it when you have enough time and resources.

Even if you cancel the scan, you will not be able to recover your work. You should have backed up your work before the scans.

It's best to wait for the process to finish once you've already started.

"If you're already scanning disks, do it to the end so that it scans quickly, you need an SSD or SAS disk, at least for the Windows system, then the system works faster. Here is a comparison of disk speeds: Media Type, Size, Throughput, Magnetic (HDD), 2.5/3.5'', 6 GB/s, Semiconductor (SSD), 2.5'', 6 GB/s (SATA) 6 GB/s (mSATA), 32 GB/s (M.2), Commercial, Server (SAS), 2.5/3.5'', 12 GB/s, Hybrid (SSHD), 2.5/3.5'', 6 GB/s."

Unfortunately, it is not recommended to interrupt the chkdsk process during its operation, as it can lead to data loss or file system damage. Chkdsk is a tool for repairing and checking the integrity of the file system, and interrupting it can result in an improper operation termination.

If you want to preserve the progress of the chkdsk work done so far, the best solution is to let it complete. After completion, restart the computer again, add more hardware resources if necessary, and then run the disk scan again if you feel it is necessary.

Of course, before undertaking such actions, I recommend making a backup copy of important data to minimize the risk of information loss in case of unforeseen problems.
