Hi everyone,

I’m in a tricky situation and would appreciate some advice. My Windows installation recently crashed and I now have a blue screen (BSOD) that prevents me from accessing Windows, but thanks god I find a way to access all the files and they’re safe.

Unfortunately, I didn’t make any backup of my Opera profile, so I don’t have my saved passwords, bookmarks, or browsing history stored anywhere else. I’d like to do a reinstall of Windows on the same disk, but my main concern is recovering all my Opera data (passwords, bookmarks, history, etc.) after the reinstallation.

My questions:
• Is it possible to recover my Opera data by copying the profile folders from the old Windows installation to the new one?
• If so, which folders exactly do I need to copy, and are there any steps I should be careful with?
• Are there any alternative methods for recovering my Opera data, especially my saved passwords and bookmarks, if the above isn’t possible?
• Is there any way to extract this information if the original Windows user profile is not accessible as a bootable OS, but I can access the disk as a secondary drive from another Windows installation or via a USB adapter?

Any advice or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

@Gabriele123456 You may be able to recover some data, but not everything. Passwords can't be recovered for example.
