    How do I restore a whole folder using the backup and restore option in the control panel?


    So I wanted to merge my D and E drives into one drive so I backed up the E drive and then deleted the volume so it was all unallocated and then added that unallocated space into my D drive and before doing that I backed up my E drive but now whenever I try to restore the files that I backed up it doesn't restore any of the folders and so all my files try to restore unorganized in one place and I would like to know if there's a way I could restore the files with the folders they were in too?Also I'm trying to upload an image but it won't let me for some reason

    :)
     

  2. Control Panel - Backup and Restore

    My computer that came with Windows 10 Preinstalled has the wrong version at Backup and Restore in the Control Panel.

    Currently it shows Backup and Restore Windows 7. This computer never had Windows 7. Do I need to change that heading to Back and Restore Windows 10?

    Control Panel - Backup and Restore

    This is for everyone. Windows 10 has another type of backup called file history which saves your files to an external device. The reason of providing the same backup and restore feature that was available in windows 7+8 in windows 10 was because tons of
    people migrated from windows 7/8 to 10 during the free offer and if this feature was a sort of depracated then the users would have lost their backups.

    So the control panel refers to windows 7 type backup and restore.
