Using your file explorer, look for a folder called Windows-old or something like that in the C:/ folder.

I did that but don't see anything that looks like bookmark details

When you mean clean install what do you mean? Was everything wipe clean?

I think so - I have no music or pics left.

Did you find the folder?

If you found the old data folder, use these links to find your profile.
