New PC built - need to restore files

Thread needs solution

After many questions and much support from this forum I have finally resolved almost all my issues, old computer is in the garbage and new computer up and running. It seems my old Dell XPS 720 was too outdated to handle the updated Windows 10 updates.

Now I would like to restore files from previous Acronis backups but Acronis does not see them. I know I can simply open the backups and copy what I want to the new computer but for me that has a bad side effect. The dates the original files were created are important and that information is lost by simply doing a file copy. Is there any way to direct Acronis to see a backup that is not automatically detected? I know in older version of Acronis that was possible.

This is a fresh Windows 10 and Acronis 2016 install.

Darkkhelmet, there should be an option shown at the bottom of the main ATIH 2016 GUI panel, to the right of the one to add a new backup which will give you a further option to add an existing backup - see screen shot below.
