Hi Gary,
best bet is to create a new user account and login to that then restore
the files. You may need to install some software again or at least run
the applications once to set up. For example WSJT-X will not create the
log file directory until it has been run once for a user. Don't try and
use your old user home directory for the new user as it is pretty much
trashed.

Using a new account keeps what's left of your old account untouched in
case there is something left there that you don't have a backup of.
I hope you really have everything important backed up.
For future reference, I strongly recommend Time Machine, it comes free
with masOS, all you need is an external drive or NAS. Backups are hourly
snapshots for last 24 hrs and daily/weekly/monthly behind that. It is
simple and very reliable unless you leave the drive disconnected for
extended periods.

Have them on a thumb drive
Hi Gary,
is it an image backup of your home folder, a copy of your home folder, or just
copies of important files and folders?
