Restoring from backup - software version

[WPCentral Question]

I reset my phone to fix a problem downloading the latest OS, which worked, and I now want to restore my files from the backup. If I use the restore function, will it just reload my apps and settings or will it also revert the software to the earlier version? I want the apps and settings back, but not the old OS version.

Only the apps and settings, I just did it. :3
