    The files & folders from the previous operating system after the upgrade to Windows 10 might have been saved in the

    • Press Windows icon key on the keyboard and type
      windows.old in the search box.

    • Follow the file/folder path to check the contents of the same.


    Step 2: Using Windows explorer




    • Press Windows logo + E keys on the keyboard to open Windows Explorer.

    • Click on This PC option from the left side panel of the window.

    • Type windows.old in the Search This PC
      box located at the top right corner of the window.
