    Anything that you can boot and use to move folders on the hd.

    You can borrow mine which is easier because you will be able to see what you are doing
    1904v3.iso

    Rt click a folder and select move from the context menu

    Siw2 gave one of his tools.
    Download the iso
    Make a boot able USB drive (2G min). To make a boot able USB drive:
    Open a CMD window as administrator and type:

    diskpart
    list disk (it will list all drives. Identify the USB drive number)
    select disk n (replace n by the USB drive number obtained with list disk)
    clean
    convert mbr
    create part primary
    select part 1
    format fs=fat32 quick
    assign
    active
    exit (to exit diskpart)

    On Win 10, mount the iso file and copy all files and folders to the USB drive.

    Boot from the USB drive.
    -Create a Windows.new folder
    - Select all files and folders But not Windows.old, Windows.new and System Volume Information. Then cut (ctrol+x) and paste (ctrol+v) on the Windows.new folder
    - Open Windows.old and select all files and folders and and cut (ctrol+x) and paste (ctrol+v) on the them on the root of de drive

    thanks guys, in the afternoon I try.

    Today 60 days are up and the windows.old folder is gone. I think I will have to move the system clock back to October 19th and restore the October 18th backup and then do the test you suggested. right?

    I got an idea: if I have space I can test it in the virtual machine

    I moved the contents of windows.old as you indicated (I restored the virtual machine and it worked). It starts up but after a while it gives the blue screen.

    I redid the restore . It seems to me that it cannot be moved. This is the situation. The windows.old folders are not full. It seems that the on-place installation that I did also moved something.



    how can i proceed?
