      Windows 10
      Should be the latest Opera
      Had several extensions

      Hello!
      I had encountered "Opera_elf.dll" problem and I am not preparing for reintalling opera

      What is important for me:
      Saving bookmarks I had.

      First what I have done:
      Concerning Opera_elf.dll, I tried to replacing opera_elf.dll file in Opera but this created additional problems.
      I have tried repairing software, but it didn't work

      I have found this page: https://help.opera.com/en/latest/crashes-and-issues/
      That suggests you can move files and folder like Sessions and bookmarks freely around Operas. Now... Is that true? It is common to get further issues when you try to recover from opera_elf.dll problem, so I was wondering what is the safest option for me.

      So, if I:
      Backup "bookmarks", "cookies" files and Sessions folder
      Uninstall Opera
      Instal new Opera
      Put backupped files where they belong
      Will this create additional problems and can I prepare for them as well?

      Best wishes everyone.

        @onionlincoln Best option would be to use Sync. Saved passwords, for example, can only be copied that way.

          @onionlincoln Cookies will not work in a different installation.

            @leocg thanks for the answer, my opera is not turning on at all and it is too difficult to repair it.
            thanks for cookie answer

              To clarify my post: My opera is dead and not turning on at all. I tried two different ways to repair it.
              What I have access to is file directory on my Windows and I am trying to see what can be saved.

              @onionlincoln said in Move bookmarks with a bak file to a new Opera:

              I am not preparing for reintalling opera

              Am NOW* preparing for reinstallation 🥁

              As my opera is not opening at all, it is dead. I need to reinstall it

                Solved!

                So, I copied the files, as this comment reassured me
                https://forums.opera.com/topic/52748/solved-how-to-copie-my-all-tab-to-another-pc/4#

                I have noticed that I can't uninstall opera either and I can't find it in Program files, only in Appdata.

                I just downloaded new installer and installed it and it automatically replaced the older opera(80.0.4170.63) and it is just running like nothing happened, with all the tabs and stuff. I have restarted the computer and it has been fine.

                I will write again if I will have problems again.
