Windows 10: How do I install a files and folders bckup? Windows 7 to Windows 10

Does it show up after adding a drive letter to it?

Drive Letter - Add, Change, or Remove in Windows - Windows 7 Help Forums

 

This would be for Windows Backup instead of a from the system image.

actuall when I get to the last step (10 I think) a screen pops up telling me to format this disk. If I don't format and try to open from This PC, again I get "You must format this drive xxxxx"

 

In that case, I'd say go ahead and try to extract the files from the Windows Backup instead since that's where you said they should be.

And this is what I have now done:Thumbsup:

Thank you.

 

So as to help me understand, if someone can, so to put closure on this..

Looking at the sequence here





If you look at pane 3 the date shows 8/8 (this is the same in pane 1&2) however pane 4 shows todays date*Rolleyes

Why?

I feel I should be able to use one of these (file size file one 147gb. file size file two 2.59gb).

I'm I right in this thought?

Thank you

 

You're most welcome. Were you able to restore the files you wanted?

 

You could most certainly try attaching that VHD file to see if you can access and recovery files from it if you like. *Smile

 

lol.. replace is something I still haven't tried yet.

And... after a bazillion tries, I was finally able to create drive F using the second file in the image shown above




So to tie in with what you've asked, how do I restore/replace any one particular file/folder from above as stated here





So for example, unless I'm reading step 10 wrong, I should be able to replace the Windows file/folder in drive C with that of the Windows files/folders in the F drive

 

No, no. You would only want to copy over individual files (ex: pictures, documents, etc...) you wanted from the backup or image instead.

If you try to replace the Windows (or any system folder) with one from the backup, you'll break Windows 10.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

You're most welcome. *Smile
