You will notice that by holding the shift key we have unlocked a whole bunch of hidden items in the context menu, so you can go ahead and send the files to their matching folder in your current Windows installation.Īdmittedly restoring all your files via the manual method can be rather tedious. Now press the shift button on your keyboard and right click on one of the items, then navigate to the “Send to” section of the context menu. To restore your files, enter one of the folders and select all the files and folders contained within it. Which is what is left of your original user profile. If you wish to restore your files manually you can open up the Computer panel and navigate to the root of your OS drive to access the Windows.old folder.
