how do i make my localhost backup website work?

Help! I was building a wordpress site locally using localhost xampp and xampp started giving me issues. So i made a backup of my website folder in htdocs and uninstalled xampp, then reinstalled. Now i am copy and pasting my backup folder back into htdocs and it is telling me page not found! :( I re-created database in my phpmyadmin so that even that was identical to the previous database before uninstalling. Someone help me please i don't know what to do i had alot of content and cannot re-build from scatch :(

All the pages, posts, categories, tags media etc are created in database. So, if you have not backed up your database prior to un-install xamp, you will not get the content back. You will have to create them again. Next time when you do such things, please make sure to get a file backup (of your httdocs or www) and also a backup of the database too.
