My Windows installation crashed, and I ended up installing a new version temporarily. All my old files remain on the hard drive, but I didn't back up everything properly, including my Opera browser data. I have several accounts linked to that browser, but I don't have the emails or passwords for them, and losing them would be annoying. Is there a way to manually recover and get my old browser working again from the data on my PC? I'm planning to back up important files and then wipe my system for an upgrade later.

You can still recover some data if you plug in the old drive to the new setup. Just transfer the Opera files from the old install into the new directory. However, keep in mind that without the right export/import processes, you might lose your login info. Just be careful!
Glad to know I can still access the files. Just to clarify, all my drives are still plugged in—I'm just running a new Windows installation on a different drive.
