My Win10 laptop was murdered by a M'soft update. I had to reinstall Win10 which removed all the old programs, but I saved the data. How do I locate/transfer/utilize my old profile, folders and mail on my new Win10 laptop?

Did you save the hidden appdata folder when you saved your data? if not do you have a Windows.old folder in the C: drive
