You recently restored Windows, yet the old applications from another storage remain uninstalled.
We updated it correctly. Even after placing files on a different storage device, clearing Windows which tracks these changes requires a full reinstall.
Can you avoid reinstalling everything and let Windows detect the programs automatically?
I thought keeping everything on a different disk would prevent needing to reinstall them.
I believe there could be a solution. The program data file from the backup I created before reinstalling Windows might help.
Certain applications function in a "portable" setting where all key configurations reside in its own directory, or they save preferences in shared locations such as AppData (C:/Users/<your name>/AppData), which can be moved. Others do not support this and necessitate a complete reinstall.
