How do I restore a Windows.old file
A few days ago I clean-installed Window 10 on my laptop. Works fine, except the laptop now cannot be reached by my desktop PC on my network, and I've exhausted all my options to get it to work. One option was to try again by clean reinstalling Windows 10 AGAIN. So I did that twice. I clean-installed both times from the Windows 10 iso file, downloaded from MS. I see that I have several Windows.old files. I'd like to revert back to Windows 10 before both clean reinstalls, which apparently is one of the .old files. I initially upgraded from Windows 7 for free a few years ago--that's where Windows 10 came from initially.
First, can I reinstall from a Windows.old Windows 10 file? I'd use the Windows.old.000 file. And second, if I can, how do I do that?
Thanks.
