If you have the original nof 12 files backed up, there is no reason you can't go back to using nof 12 and all the original files.
Follow the instruction in the WIKI. If the folders containing the templates can't be found by nof 2015 for whatever reason, then move them to where nof 2015 can find them. You seem to be trying to find a flaw in the instructions. The conversion process is so simple, I have never heard any complaints from those who followed the wiki.
