recovering/copying specific files and folders to a new laptop

Thread needs solution

I backed up files with a previous version of Acronis True Image Home on  two different laptops and would now like to restore select folders to my new laptop.  However, what used to simple and intuitive in prior version is now confusion (at least to me).  What is showing in the tutorials is not showing on my version of True Image Home  2016.

1. I can't select specific folders

2. The system appears to be in backup mode rather than recovery mode

3. I'm not seeing options for the security settings when I restore.

Can anyone help me with clear, step by step instructions on how to do the most basic thing: copy files from an external drive to a new drive.

Note: I do not want to restore programs.  I'd really like to get down to the folder and even file level within my My Documents folder in the archived backup.

Thank you

John,

I believe what you want to do is "Mount an Image".

Mounting an image is covered in paragraph 11.7 of the user manual on page 148.

Please let me know if this works.
