Backup Issue!!!

Hi,

My iphone6s brke recently and as I have an old iphone5C, I'm trying to restore the backup I took a few days before 6s broke onto my Windows 10 laptop. I'm trying to restore this back up to the 5C but getting a msg to say cant due to ios version issue. Is there any way to get round this?

TIA

Sorry no.

You can restore data from backup only if the "destination" iPhone is running an iOS version equal or more recent than the one that was used to create that backup.
