Windows 10: Can't access files to restore onto laptop

Here is the sequence of events:

1 OneDrive inadvertently was deleted from my laptop on 4.2.20.

2 I thought that my external hard drive backed up all files but I was wrong.

3 This morning it occurred to me that the files might be online via OneDrive.

4 I accessed OneDrive with my personal email and saw all of my documents.

5 Rather than download those immediately, I stupidly decided to correct an old email address that was previously associated with the OneDrive account and that I believe was my old user ID.

6 After that was done, when I logged onto One Drive with my personal account, the folders/photos/files were not there.

7 When I asked for a new password, using the old email address as a user ID, it said that ID doesn't exist.


I'm told that we cannot call OneDrive. I've sent in a request for help, but I'm wondering if anyone else has some ideas. PLEASE help.

Laptops cannot access desktops via WIFI

I have 3 desktops (all on Windows 10 1803) connected on my LAN. After following this forum for some times and did all the steps as suggested by forum member, access denied, all my desktops are able to view and access one another. I have a printer connected to PC1, and managed to connect all the other 2 PCs to have the shared printer.

I also have 2 more laptops (both Asus with the same Windows 10 1803) connected via WIFI. Performed all the same steps as per the desktops, but I was not able to access PC1. I was able to view all the 3 desktops from the file explorer, but I just can't access all the desktops. However, I was able to access the Asus laptops from desktop PC1.

Anyone able to assist on this matter? Any assistance is highly appreciated.

 

can't restore files to a new laptop using file history.

Hi John,

The path of the drive may differ from the new laptop to the old laptop. It depends on where you plugged in the external hard drive. At this point, we'd like to ask the following to assist you better:

• Was the hard drive before a storage drive only or a main hard drive of a computer?
• What type of files were you trying to restore?
• Can you please send screenshots of how you restore your files? Blur any personal information for your security.
  
• To avoid repetition, can you provide us with all the troubleshooting steps that you've done so far?
