Restarting Windows again
Restarting Windows again
I own three SSDs—one for Windows, one for software, and one for games. After installing a fresh Windows version on the first drive, will I need to reinstall everything?
Not actual games. The majority should function properly. If you own a Steam account, simply install the game as usual but specify the folder where you previously stored them. This will perform a data integrity verification and allow you to play. For software, it's best to install everything at the start.
Yes, software is available, a game launcher exists, but there are no games to play.
Steam titles: likely not needed. Verify other games and all programs. Probably. It hinges on whether they removed key files or registry entries, which is typical on Windows. If you have open-source options with a Linux counterpart, they should function well without a full reinstall.
