I have (with a lot of problems!) installed the sync function. However, I cannot find how to download the Google Drive to the new Win 10 PC, only the opposite option (upload files from the new (rather empty) PC!)

Backup & Sync app has 2 sync ways, which are "Google Drive (My Drive)" and "My Computer" (or My Laptop etc.), each way will have different behavior for new computer in the first sync.
▼ Google Drive (My Drive)
If you set the sync settings as usual, the same Google Drive folder that was on the old computer will be created on the new computer, and contents will be downloaded.
If you want to sync the contents of the backup folder of your old computer with Win 10 PC, first let Backup & Sync app creates an empty backup folder of Win 10 PC in the Computers section, then you should move the contents of the backup folder of the old computer to there in the cloud.
