Restoring Your Files From a Backup
If you have backed up your D:\Data folder to an external drive please do not just copy over the whole data folder to the new structure. If you look at the structure you will see that it contains subfolders where the individual files should be saved to. You want to avoid duplicating folders. Below is an image of the new C:\Users\<username> directory. You can see that there are already folders there for you to copy your data into.
Examples:
Files should be copied from:
- D:\Data\My Documents into C:\Users\<username>\My Documents
You should copy the contents (all folders and files)in My Documents folder under D:\Data\My Documents and drag them into C:\Users\<username>\My Documents on your new laptop.
- D:\Data\My Pictures to the C:\Users\<username>\My Pictures
- Do this process for each folder
