I recently replaced the CPU and motherboard, added an M.2 drive, and installed Windows. I kept my old hard drives and only swapped the new components. Now I’m running smoothly and wanted to know if my previous drives would still appear on the desktop. If not, should I remove everything from the drives and re-download them individually?

It depends on the setup. With Steam, you can re-add games by placing them in the same directory as your other titles, which lets the system recognize them again. Most other launchers offer a similar feature to locate and reinstall games.
