Hi all,
I am looking for the solution where I can recover the Opera bookmarks and sessions from recovered installation on computer that crashed and after I installed new windows 7 and Opera. Is there a way to copy certain files in order to get back bookmarks and other data?

@jeromero For bookmarks you can just copy the Bookmarks file from the old Opera's profile directory to the new one.

If sync was enabled on the old installation, just login on the new one.

Thanks for the reply. I am only able to see the files of old Opera installations and cannot start opera old one.
Can you tell me where is the Opera's profile in folders?
What is the path as I searched Program Files and App Data folders and no sign of any bookmarks file/folder.
Again, I cannot run old instance of Oera and searching for solution to copy the required files to new opera installation.

@jeromero It's usually in %appdata%\opera software\Opera Stable

Inside of \Opera Stable\ folder I have 2 folders "Cache" and "Media cache" and I copied those folders over but Opera does not show old bookmarks.

@jeromero Those are cache folders an they are kinda useless for recovering anything.
You need the files and folders in appdata/roaming/opera software/opera stable
