What I want:

A procedure to restore my WAMP Server (MySQL 5.7.31) particularly the database to a working state from physical database files. I have a latest backup copy (dated, but backed up) of the physical files of the database, and the entire MySQL folder.

If a procedure is unavailable, I'd like some guidance as to how get started.

Here is my first attempt:

So far I attempted physical copy of my entire former Wampserver installation from the same computer but different computer name, as my computer hardware motherboard was swapped (from the OEM)

What I did afterwards:

Attempt using the physical copy transfer of the wampserver gave an error in mysql that indicated a write permission needed to be changed in ibdata1.

Modification, by addition of Network Service as a registered full access modifier user of the folder (mysql folder that is) did not change the nature of the error.

Result:

Error in mysql logs persist and unfortunately because I uninstalled wamp to try once more differently I am unable to provide the exact error messages pertaining to os write error (I believe error #2 code)

Any suggestions or starting pointers to restore my database and tables would be tremendously appreciated...
