1416693 2016-02-29 02:38:00 Hi All.

Is there any way I can get this folder back? One folder in my email folders did not change over from W8.1, or maybe I cant find it. Yes I did a backup before W10. If I must I will try & find it on there. Thanks. PJ:annoyed:

1416694 2016-02-29 03:19:00 Depends on how long ago it got deleted. Generally the answer would be no.

BUT you can try this -- Download from this link www.shadowexplorer.com (www.shadowexplorer.com) Get the latest. You can use either the install or the stand alone version ( zip file)

If you use the stand alone click on the exe file, if it wont run you may have to right clcik /run as administrator.
From the dated dropdown window ( see picture below) - select a date - if you have several you may need to try a few till you find what you want. As long as its not to long ago the windows.old folder will show in the file structure on the right -- Right click it Export to someplace. If its not there then apart from running data recovery software it may be gone.

Shadow explorier is basically looking at windows restore points.
