my old PC died completely but fortunately i had a fairly recent backup created using file History but it seems that Microsoft has made no provision to use my backup to restore my files to my new Windows 11 PC.
Surely this is a serious omission since a PC dying is the primary reason for creating backups.
Anyone out there have a solution?
I read a post from December 2021 which suggested:
"1. On the new Windows 11, make sure the "File History" feature is turned off and the history is empty, and close "File History".
2. Click Start > Update & Security > Backup, under Back up using File History, click More options > Restore files from a current backup.
3. Plug in your external hard disk, then in the "File History" window, click Configure File History settings, when you can see your external hard disk in the list, select I Want To Use A Previous Backup On This File History Drive, then click to select your external hard disk, then on the list you may see the backup from your old Windows 10, select it, then click Turn on."
but my W11 PC does not have Update & Security as an option when i click start.
