How to restore whatsapp folder from SD card after fresh installation of lumia 520 OS ?

I have taken backup of my lumia 520 by copy-pasting all phone and SD Card folders in my Windows 10 installed laptop. Then I swipe all data and reboot my phone to default factory mode. But after installing Whatsapp in it with same number, I found myself helpless to restore my previous chat data which remain in my SD Card with name of "WinPhoneBackup "... So please help me to restore it

Unfortunately, that is not how a proper backup is made. The process done has made all the information basically useless and inaccessible (to the average, non-programming user). We normally create a backup through the backup feature of the phone, and then restore it after the phone has been wiped clean.
