Description of the issue:
Can not restore my back up - win7 and win10 seem to have a completely different file/folder structure
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
- copy the entire appdata/roaming/brave (or whatever the original folder is)
- upgrade win7 to win10
- the same folder DOES NOT EXIST under win10, found another one with a similar path, but copying the entire old brave folder does nothing.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Can not get to my old settings, including any passwords, etc.
Expected result:
I would love to get my settings back if at all possible
Reproduces how often:
first time occurence
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave
page in the main menu):
Previously:
Unknown Version of Brave, I guess I kept it up to date, but after this experience I have no idea, to be honest.
WIN7
Now:
Version 0.62.51 Chromium: 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit)
WIN10
Additional Information:
When copying the old brave folder over, I got asked about a couple of files to be overwritten, so I did with the idea that I want to keep my original files, rather than anything new on the fresh install, yet it had no effect whatsoever…
Would anyone be please so kind and see if you could see and try to advise how do I best sort this out, please?
Thank you very much in advance
