    How to copy all my w8 jumplists to w10?


    I had been using w8 for 4 years and now I have switched to w10.

    I want to copy my jumplists of all software from w8 to w10. how can I do this?

    I have read that Jump list files are located in
    %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations
    and in
    %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations (pinned ones)

    so, if I copy entire content of these two folders from w8 10 w10, would I get this transfer made?

    of course I can just do that and see the effect, just thought to confirm with learned ones before messing up something.

    Thanks.

  2. Windows 10 File Explorer Recent Jumplist won't clear - External Drive folders lingering

    I recently copied 5+ GB worth of files from one flash drive (EHow to copy all my w8 jumplists to w10? :) to another (FHow to copy all my w8 jumplists to w10? :), and afterwards my Recents jumplist on File Explorer is stuck with folders accessed from the external drives. Clearing and/or turning the jumplist off has no effect, and attempting
    to remove the item from the jumplist doesn't do anything either, providing no sort of feedback. I have also tried removing these entries from the jumplist with the drives connected to no avail.

    Before doing this, my Recent jumplist functioned as intended, and I have not encountered this problem in previous versions of Windows.

    Below is a picture of the issue (I modified the directory shown for privacy). The folders alternate between the drive I copied from (EHow to copy all my w8 jumplists to w10? :) and the drive I copied to (FHow to copy all my w8 jumplists to w10? :). For example, highlighting the first "f0" would show that it's from the (EHow to copy all my w8 jumplists to w10? :) drive, and
    highlighting the second "f0" would show that it's from the (FHow to copy all my w8 jumplists to w10? :) drive.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue? I feel it is something that needs addressing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Open from Taskbar using Edge?

    Can I permanently pin a page other than my Homepage to the taskbar using Edge? I can pin a tab but the tabs all vanish when I close Edge.

    I don't think anyone has ever tried that, so you probably won't find an experienced answer.

    while working on w10 boot, I tried to access w8 partition, but first it wouldn't let me access USERS, then it allowed.

    but even then when I reached Windows/Recent, the the two folder "Custom Destination" and other one, were not even visible.

    Now, I will boot in to w8, and copy the content of those folders to some other place, and then boot to w10 and move those backup to the w10 "Custom Destination" and other folder.

    let's see.

    I believe you will create more issues than you will solve trying to accomplish this.
