Windows 10: Favorites and Bar don't work on one Laptop but work fine on Desktop

Here is info from both computers that might assist in troubleshooting my problem. Trying to Import from IE shows "couldn't import favorites."

In both of the following instances identical lists of my favorites and contents of Favorites Bar appear in both laptop and desktop files, just as they should, following their names on all computers.

These paths are from Laptop: Only the words "FAVORITES and Favorites Bar" appear from the Edge Hub, but no listings of them are available, and the bar shortcuts do not appear, however the complete lists appear following their names on the path shown below.
C:\Users\Deek\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Def ault\Favorites
C:\Users\Deek\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Def ault\Favorites\Favorites Bar

These paths are from Desktop: These work perfectly with Edge, just as they do when I use IE 11 and Favorites bar appears as they should.
C:\Users\RW\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Defau lt\Favorites\Favorites bar
C:\Users\RW\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Defau lt\Favorites

The only difference I can see between them is the name of the User, which is different on each computer. Where have I gone wrong? I have identical paths on another identical laptop and the Favorites function as they should and the Favorites Bar appears across the top just as it should and does on the Desktop, and paths are the same except for its User's name. I have apparently missed something somewhere on one. Help and suggestions appreciated. I apologize for length, but needed to be clear.

How do you add a Favorites Folder to Edge Favorites Bar?

I have Windows 10 with the MS EDGE browser installed on both a PC and a laptop. I have imported my Favorites from my previous browser and they reside in a folder called "Old Favorites".

Somehow on the PC I was able to place that folder (or a shortcut) in the EDGE Favorites Bar. When I left-click on the folder icon in the favorites bar, it displays a listing of sub-folders in the Old Favorites folder directly below the icon in the Favorites
Bar (left side of screen). Left-clicking on a sub-folder opens a listing of the saved web pages directly under the Star Symbol (right side of screen) as if the favorites had been displayed by left-clicking the Star Symbol. Left-clicking a saved web page
opens that page. This works really well for me.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to duplicate this on my laptop. I simply don't remember how I did this on the PC. Oh, and the Old Favorites folder does NOT reside in the Favorites Bar folder - I tried that and it didn't work. I have also tried
dragging and dropping but dragging to the Favorites Bar is not allowed.

Any I ideas how I can replicate this set-up on the laptop?

 

Problems with Favorites Bar : Underneath the address bar is the following message"Add to the favorites bar by selecting (star) or by importing your favorites."

Underneath the address bar is the following message"Add to the favorites bar by selecting (star) or by importing your favorites." I can't get rid of it. Everything works fine except for this
