Re-downloading Titles After System Recovery on Windows
Re-downloading Titles After System Recovery on Windows
If you must reinstall Windows, you can download the games once more after restoring the OS.
You can access them through Steam or any other digital gaming service.
I stored my Steam and Battle.net directories on my NAS. Then I can transfer them back at 120MB each second if needed, and just specify the location in Steam after copying, rather than downloading from the web at about 1.2MB per second.
They usually prefer not to do that. Instead, they copy the games to another drive and reinsert them after reinstalling.
