I've re-installed Wicher 3 and my backed up savegames won't load

I've re-installed Wicher 3 and my backed up savegames won't load - Things I Can't Say Out Load Book on Green Textile

I re-installed my whole PC yesterday and wanted to play Witcher 3, so I created a zip file of my C:\Users\neon1\Documents\The Witcher 3 folder, which contained all my save games.

However when I fire up the game now, I don't have the option to continue. When I try a new game and try 'Load game' no files are displayed.

How can I 'import' by backed up save games into the game, so that I can continue my gameplay? Losing almost all of the main campaign would be quite a blow, especially as I made the effort to backup my saves.
