I had a major issue with my Windows installation and, unfortunately, could not repair it. I ended up installing a temporary version of Windows, but I still have all my old files on the hard drive. The problem is that I didn't back up my data properly, and I have some accounts in the Opera browser for which I don't remember the emails or passwords. While these accounts aren't crucial, it would be helpful to retrieve that information. Is there a way to manually restore my Opera browser using the data from my old installation? I'm planning to wipe my PC and set it up correctly later, but I want to salvage what I can from the current situation.

You might be able to copy your old Opera data over to the new installation, but keep in mind that your saved logins could be lost unless you've exported or synced them properly. Just connect your old drive to your new setup and transfer the necessary Opera files into the new directory. Still, it’s a bit of a gamble with your passwords.
All my drives are still in the new system, I just run it from another drive.
