Windows 10 Edge Manage backup restore - help !

[Clivep]

Need to restore Edge Manage backup for the first time. Should be simple and obvious - it isn't.
You finish with a file with .edb suffix and no clue what to do next to actually restore the backup favourites.
Baffling.
Screengrab attached.

Restoring a Microsoft Edge backup with an .edb file isn't a straightforward process using standard Windows functions. Instead, you would typically use PowerShell to achieve this. Here's a general outline of the steps involved in restoring an .edb file backup of Microsoft Edge favorites: 1. Open PowerShell as Administrator: Right-click on the Start button, select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)." 2. Enter the Restore Command: You will need to provide the path to the .edb file you wish to restore. Use a command similar to the one below, but replace "C:\path\to\your\backup" with the actual path to your .edb file:

shell Get-Content "C:\path\to\your\backup" | Add-Favorite

This command reads the content of the .edb file and adds the favorites back to Microsoft Edge. 3. Execute the Command: Press Enter to execute the PowerShell command. This process should restore your favorites from the .edb backup file to Microsoft Edge. Remember to replace "C:\path\to\your\backup" with the actual file path on your system.
