In next week's article, I'll show you how to work around the end result of those stumbling blocks if you have already fallen prey to them. To begin, I'm going to make a couple of assumptions. Of course, since we are talking about transferring existing data from one Windows 10 installation to another, I'm assuming that you have used File History to back up your data files on an external USB hard disk. I'm also going to assume that you are signing into both of your Windows 10 systems using the same Microsoft account.
Doing so will facilitate the replication of certain settings in your old Windows 10 installation to your new Windows 10 installation. For example, you'll find the same user account picture, wallpaper, and email in your new Windows 10 installation. Finally, I'm going to assume that you are running the Creators Update version of Windows 10 on both your installations. The procedure should be similar in previous versions of Windows I'm just pointing this out since my test systems are all running the Creators Update and that is the version you'll see in the screen shots.
Once you have signed into your new Windows 10 installation, connect the external hard disk containing your File History backup to your PC. You'll then see the File History screen shown in Figure A , which informs you that no file history was found and that File History is turned off. This is normal, since you haven't yet run File History in your new Windows 10 installation.
This screen is where folks make two of the most common mistakes. To begin with, the main message on this screen is that File History is off. So it might seem logical that the first thing that you should do is click the Turn On button. However, that is a mistake. When you do so, File History will immediately begin creating a new backup and you'll never get an opportunity to restore your existing backup.
You select the check box, choose your existing backup, and click the Turn On button. You'll then be prompted to click Run Now. But instead of beginning a restore operation, File History will immediately begin creating a new backup. Thinking that is not what is supposed to happen , many users panic and click the Stop button. If you do that, you'll never get an opportunity to restore your existing backup. Next, click the Turn On button. Hello, Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community Forums.

Thanks for participation. A subscription to make the most of your time. You lose the reference to the old backup in File History. So what you issue is that you want to restore the file to another PC without file name in parenthesis, right?
Yes, it's for backup. You can get your file back via this feature. However, if you want to restore the file to another computer, it would keep the file with parenthesis. Karen does have the correct response to the current state of affairs. The current state of affairs is really mickey mouse. Adding the option to select only the most recent version of the file is required, and then stripping the embedded date is next.
You can sort of do this by sorting the output files and deleting just the latest version. Someone could write a script to do that fairly easily. There is a utility called Bulk File Rename that will do the renaming for you.
Those of you who now regular expressions. Tis forum is not for script. Meanwhile, thanks for your sharing and please submit this feedback via the built-in Feedback app. Office Office Exchange Server.
