Restoring files to a different installation of Windows on the same computer
ATIH was used to backup the entire SSD on a Windows 10 PC. All data was stored on an NTFS volume.
I'm going to erase the SSD and reinstall Windows 10 on the same PC. This means the computer and user account will have different SIDs.
The only thing I care about restoring are Steam game related directories and files.
The last time I restored data from a different installation of Windows to the same computer, the files were there for a moment and then they disappeared. I presume this was due to different security principals assigned to the restored data.
How do I restore data from a different installation of Windows to the same computer ?
