System restore changed from Windows 10 to Windows 7 documents missing
My computer (Compaq DC7900 Small Form Factor) came with Windows 7 installed on it. Last year, we took advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 10. About a week ago, my most essential program (Visual CADD v5) stopped loading. After many attempts to resolve (including VCADD tech support), I decided to do a system restore. Before doing this, I ran backup to save my data. When the system restored, it restored to Windows 7. I did a Restore from the Backup I did before starting the system restore. None of my documents backed up to Windows 7. Windows 10 used a 'Documents' folder and Windows 7 uses a 'My Documents' folder. I don't know whether or not that has anything to do with it. My questions are these. First, can anyone tell me if this information is recoverable on Windows 7? If not, can anyone tell me if it will be recoverable if I buy and install a copy of Windows 10 and Restore again from Windows 10?
Thanks,
Ken
