Save XElement without affecting the current header

So, I'm loading the XElement of a document like this:

Root = XElement.Load(Path);

The original header looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!--Some comment -->

When I call Root.Save("file.xml"); it changes the header declaration and erases the comment. Why is this happening? What can I do besides creating a new whole xml with XDocument to avoid this?

The shortest way is through XDocument:

XDocument doc = new XDocument(
    nex XDeclaration("1.0", "iso-8859-1", "no"),
    XElement.Load(Path)
);
doc.Add(new XComment("Some comment"));

If you want to retain the original, regardless of input, you're going to need XDocument.Load anyway...

use XDocument.Load instead of XElement.Load.

XML declarations are belong to XDocument not XElement. XElement is just loads Root element.See this and this for more details
