    Open FileExplore. Click on the C : folder in the left pane. Scroll down and click on the 'Users' sub-folder. Click on 'your username' sub-folder (your login name). Click on 'downloads' sub-folder. Jack E/NJ

    Congrats. Now copy them to a USB stick just in case your old drive bites the dust.  If you actually cloned or migrated the whole old drive to the new drive, then they should also be on  (C : ) > Users > Acer > Downloads. Same place only on C : \ Jack E/NJ
