I have only one user (Let's call it Frank1) in Windows 7, which is password protected. I forgot the password.
I realised I had Windows 10 technical preview installed on another partition, and I currently use it, so PC is currently more-or-less usable for me.
I still need my Windows 7, and data from Frank1 user.
Some of my programs, installed from Windows 7 report missing .dll files. I believe it's because dlls are somewhere in Windows 7. (Even if that isn't the source of the problem, I prefer Windows 7 anyway.)
I thought, if it's a good idea to:
-Add a folder in my Users folder.
-That folder would contain data for another administrator-priviledged user
That way I would add an another user into Windows 7, from Windows 10.
(Let's call that hypothetical user: Carl2)
-I would move the Frank1 data from C:\Users to an another place, from Windows 10
-Add the data (pictures, downloads etc) from Frank1 user in Carl2 user.
Is the solution good? Can I use an user from windows 10, because they are very similiar OSs? If not, can someone make a user in windows 7 (the hypothetical Carl2 user) and send to me somehow?
If it's a bad solution, give an idea please!
P.S. I tried using a password recovery tool, didn't help.
P.P.S Please, do not give ideas with an original Windows 7 DVD, because I lost it.
