  1. Revert to windows.old?


    my laptop had a power interruption and couldnt boot afterwards. I tried the windows 10 recovery disc but that still didnt fix it.


    So i downloaded the windows 10 installation tool and tried that.


    i now have a fresh, bootable but very empty Windows 10 installation (64bit).


    I notice the windows.old folder still has all my old stuff (data, program files, downloads, basically everything)



    is there a way of reverting to my old installation? I read some articles about how to revert to previous versions of windows but that isnt my case. Im trying to revert to a previous instance of the same version.


    is it possible? It would save me hours of reinstalling all my apps and settings!


    I am running windows 10 64 bit with all the latest updates.


    any advice much appreciated.

    :)
