    Recover Files from Backup to new Computer D Drive

    Step 1. Find and locate the folder path of your lost files in Windows 10/8 PC;

    You may click on This PC to see the folder path where you lost files: Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos or Libraries etc.

    Step 2. Type: File History in the search box > Select and click on Restore your files with File History;

    Step 3. Click History button to show all your backed up folders;

    Step 4. Choose what you want to restore and select the right version that you need > Click Restore button to get lost files back from File History backups;

    Select 'Replace the file in the destination' if the computer already contains a file or folder with the same name.

    You may also choose 'Skip This File' or 'Compare Info for Both Files' if there is a file conflict.

    After getting your lost files restore from the File History backup, you can then exist Windows File History and continue use the restore files by now.
