      Hi, having recently converted to Opera, I've used it for a few weeks and now have everything set up, all my bookmarks arranged and sorted, a couple of extensions installed and so on. It's working great and far better than my previous browser (Maxthon, which I'd used for years if anyone's interested).

      Anyway, I need to find out what I need to back up/save should I wish to do a clean re-installation of Windows. The two that I've found on this forum are:

      C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable
      And
      C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable

      Now, is there anything else at all that I should save and just copy back over after a PC cleanout? Like I say, I have Opera working sweetly now, so it'd be a bit annoying if I missed something obvious.

      Thanks.

      Michael.

        Backing up the profile folder (appdata\roaming\opera software\opera stable) should be enough.

          password file won't be recognize in new OS installation...security reasons
          so if you like to keep your passwords, better to sync them
