How to get a few files through Windows.old?
Hello,
About a month to a month and a half after I got my new laptop, i've been losing files all over my Pivot Animation folder. Entire folders, important .piv files, etc. But, I don't believe they would be deleted in the Windows.old folder, so if they aren't, I'd like to try and get those files back.
An Image to it is here:

Could someone tell me if what I want to do is possible? And how I can get to my Windows.old folder? Like the path to it and etc? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

The windows.old folder is only made when you do a reinstall and save all your settings. If you don`t have it, you can`t locate it because it`s not there.

What do you mean by a reinstall? Like a factory image restore? Because i've done that once before.

You mean like a Startup Repair? Or An OS Upgrade? What about System Restores?

No, not a startup repair.
OS upgrade?
When you do a

You choose the upgrade install option,
If you haven't done a repair/upgrade install you do not have a windows.old.
System restore won't give you one either.

OS Upgrade - Operating System Upgrade.
Yeah, I know what that is. Did you upgrade your OS by performing an upgrade install?
If you used the anytime upgrade option you are just unlocking the features of the upgraded version, no windows.old is created using that method.
What makes you think you have a windows.old folder?
It would be right here if you had one,
