Restoring tags

Annsbeads Nov 11, 2014 12:37 PM

I have upgraded (?) to Windows 8.1 from Vista, reinstalled Elements 12 and the majority of my tags have disappeared. I have 16000 images with multiple tags, is there any way I can restore the tags please? Some of the photos have some of their tags but not all of them.

Any ideas out there?

Did you restore from catalog backup?

Thanks

No, I did it via Get photos/Files and Folders from my external hard drive. Wasn't sure if I could do a restore that had been done on one computer on to a new computer. Any advice please?
Thank you.
