Hi, I had to reset my PC but I had backed up the private key and passphrase. Before resetting I bought a VPN service with the bitcoin and then I reset my PC. I tried to restore the wallet and had done so successfully. I had spent 0.06 BTC on the VPN and now the rest of my bitcoins are gone, it says they have been spent. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks

You are telling that you have backed up the private key and passphrase, then when reinstalling the wallet did you copied the same passphrase of the previous wallet or you just installed it, because if you are using the previous wallet passphrase then it will reload the previous wallet details, if you have not used your previous wallet passphrase then obviously it will create a new wallet for you. So just check with it
