Windows 10: How to make Windows 10 load from Windows.Old folder?

Hi all, so how do I make Windows 10 load to the Windows.Old folder?

My deal is that I tried to do a Windows update, it blue screened, then I was not able to get back to my desktop. However, all my files were still on my hard drive. for some reason the automatic recover process would blue screen and crash over and over.

My only option was to re-install Windows via my usb drive. When I did this, Windows put took all my files and saved them into the Windows.old folder.

Problem is, whenever I turn my laptop on, or restart, it loads up the newly installed Windows now, but I want it to load everything contained in the Windows.Old folder instead.

How may I make it so that this new install doesn't even exist and I can load my laptop like it was before things got messed up?

Thanks!

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
