Question before performing a clean installation

Andre, I have a feeling that the device backup doesn't show in OneDrive on Windows 10. I haven't seen anyone say that a backup exists there anyway. I know it used to in Windows8, 8.1

Hi Ken, Ive used the import/export feature before..quite a while ago though. at that time I found that it left quite a few of my favourites behind. Several folder in my Edge favourites were missing when I imported them. Maybe the process works perfectly now. I haven't tried it for a while

Not sure about devices won't show. Edge's settings and favorites syncing is a different thing to device backup. System syncing is tied to you digital account, not Onedrive.

But there could be something else going on. One thing I admit, MS has produced quite a mystery of this.


My bookmarks were restored fine. My last clean install was less than a week ago (Windows Insider)

Hopefully when I clean install my favourites will be installed too as they were for you. I'll be backing them up just in case anyway

and make an Image with Macrium reflect, if anything goes wrong, just restore it.
