Windows 10: Recover the Windows 10 User from Windows.old?

Hi everyone my old harddrive just stop working (more information in my old post) but i managed to recover my old data inside a windows.old folder (fail attempt to reinstall windows in a broken drive).

Now i have a brand-new drive and im trying to get everything as before. So, now im facing the next issue:

Im trying to get the same user as my old computer, same desktop, same configuration, same everything.

Looking in my windows.old i saw the Users folder and within my old user folder, can i manage to recover it or merge it with the new one? I assume isn't easy as copy the folder, because the registry and other stuff.

Hope you can help me

Thanks for reading and happy quarantine.

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

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
