I lost all favs

I lost all favs
From MS announcement: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10158 for PCs

IMPORTANT:Microsoft Edge has a new app ID that will cause any favorites, cookies, history and Reading list items that you had saved in “Project Spartan” from previous builds to be lost after upgrading. If you want to keep these, make sure you back up your favorites before upgrading to Build 10158. To save your favorites, follow these steps before upgrading to the next build we release (do it now):

  • Copy your favorites from %localappdata%/Packages/Microsoft.Windows.Spartan_cw5n1h2txyewy/AC/Spartan/User/Default/Favorites.
  • Save them to %userprofile%/Favorites.
  • After upgrading to the next build open Microsoft Edge, choose Settings, and you’ll see an option to import favorites from another browser. Choose Internet Explorer to import the favorites you saved in your %userprofile% directory into Microsoft Edge.

The only thing I had to do is sign into the sites I was registered in. My passwords and user names were still remembered. I don't know if I was lucky or it got the info from IE.

didn't see that notice but thanks for the info

I slept on this overnight and came up with this question.

I have 3 computers running, two on 8.1 and this is the other. My favs on the 8.1 are still there SO???????????????
Is there a way to copy them then send them to myself????????????????????

Thanks

Are the favourites shown in C:users'USERNAME'favorites

they should be there as this are where 8.1 stores them, if they are an import of favourites from within edge should do it

If not there, copy them into there from your 8.1 machine, then do an import from within Edge
its not a very big folder so you could just email it to yourself

Put them in your One Drive, or copy to thumb and transfer, or zip and email yourself. All kinds of ways. It's just data.
