subscribe and give me a like that would
be great for this video I'm going to
show you how to save your sticky notes
that you got plastered on your desktop
say like in Windows 7 Windows 8 or
earlier versions of Windows 10 1511
dition or earlier they they did the file
format one way and then after version or
addition 1607 in windows 10 though a
sticky notes file and saved in a
completely different location in a
different way so if you're just now
upgrading from windows 7 or an older
version of Windows 10 or even eight to
the new Windows 10 and you want to save
your sticky notes I'll show you how to
do that so if you have Windows 7 I'm
going to show you where the file is
saved so what you're going to want to do
is go to the disk of my computer on
windows 7 click into your C Drive double
click and you have to make sure on the
view up here at the top that you click
on this little box here for hidden items
cuz we're gonna go into a lot of places
that are hidden so make sure you check
that box and you're gonna go to your
user accounts here this is for Windows 7
obviously I'm running Windows 10 but I
recreated the location so you can see
where it saved him with a 7/8 or version
of Windows 10 so double click on your
user account or whatever use your
account the sticky note are in that you
want to save so in this case it's bail

folder here double click that then we're
gonna go into the roaming folder then
we're gonna go down into the Microsoft
folder right here double click that and
you're gonna scroll down you're gonna
find the folder called sticky notes
again this is in Windows 7 8 or older
versions of Windows 10 double click that
you're gonna see a file here called
sticky notes that smt that's the file
that you want so the best thing to do is
just right click on it copy it you can
paste it right on your desktop as I have
here or just throw it on a flash drive
so you don't lose it if you're upgrading
