I made a backup using the win 7 program in Windows 10. It has backed up the C drive.

You are SoL. Per techjourney.net/… : "Beginning from Windows 10 Build 10565 ... the Favorites in Microsoft Edge storage location are now in an ESE database file instead of the a Favorites folder." ... "The changes make it impossible to manage, change, add, delete, import, export, backup, restore, save or delete favorites by using just Windows Explorer or File Explorer, as now all favorites are stored in encrypted database, instead of individual .lnk link."
