Would like to do a proper rollback with the windows.old folder of Windows 10 which was restored from external backup to it's original location; yet the system and startup dialog negates the option.

Any registry flags I need to reset?

Evidently Windows 10 deletes the following 2 hidden folders after 30 days, and they are needed to roll it back while in Windows 10. You need more than the windows.old folder

$Windows.~WS

$Windows.~BT

I am sure there is a manual way to do as there was with W7, but I have not experimented or found a HowTo article so far.
