I need to reinstall my PC but I don’t want to lose my Skyrim mods, shaders, and other files that aren’t part of the Nexus mods. Is there a way to move the entire Skyrim folder elsewhere so I can restore it later after the reset?

I typically rely on Steam's built-in backup with an external SSD during OS reinstallation, opting to copy entire games to a separate drive or unformatted partition. Just ensure the new partition retains the same name when I reinstall the game so it doesn’t attempt to access non-existent files.
