Can't save or even load my previous saves in Skyrim in Win10

[⸸ Kuffesat ⸸]

When I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10 by using clean install, I couldn't load my saves in Skyrim which were in my Windows.old folder. I also tried new game, saved something and then left. When I reopened Skyrim, it didn't save. I literally tried every solution, from creating a homegroup to making every user have the same privileges. I created this discussion to finally find a solution, because there's no discussions or guides that work for me. Can anyone please try to find a fix so I could finally load my saves and save?

Hence my reluctance to move on to Win10.

You can not save on a new game? If you had the steam cloud on your last saves will be there.
When you created a homegroup, did you actually create one or did you join an existing one? Which folders did you check permissions on? Have you tried running launcher and tesv as admin?

I created a homegroup and made every permission to shared only. I shared the folder where my Skyrim saves are to every user.
Yes, I've tried running both of them as admin and it still didn't work for me.

Where is your Steam folder and games folders located?

Steam and steamapps are located in D disk, while the saved games and its folder are located in C disk in Windows.old folder

We'll figure out if we can get your saves out later, Need to get your game saving first. If your worried, make a back up of your windows.old folder. Just right click and copy it then paste it elsewhere and add the .bak extension. My Steam folder is in F:\Steam and my games are F:\Steam\steamapps\Common\ <game name>\ If either of yours are in c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam move it out of Program Files. I think yours is on the D: drive?

Alright, I tried copy and pasting Windows.old from C disk and D disk and when I opened Skyrim, it didn't do anything. I really don't know what is causing the saves to not work.
I even tried putting the folder where the saves are to the Documents, because in Win 7, they were in the Documents folder, but it still didn't do a damn thing.

If you have the ess files they go in documents\my games\skyrim\saves folder.

What ess files? Do you mean the ones in Steamapps/Common/Skyrim?

[cfs111]

No, the game saves are .ess files like Save 1 - Prisoner Abandoned Prison 00.02.11.ess

Well, the My Games, where the saves are, was copy pasted from the Windows.old folder to Win 10 Documents. It still didn't do a thing for me.

Do you have the same mods installed that you had originally?

I do have some mod installed from the Workshop. I also have SKSE.

[cfs111]

The way Skyrim saves info you need to have the exact same mods that you made the saves with originally. This may be the issue.

The one that I've had from Win 7 is the same as in Win 10. It's a workshop mod.
