Windows 10: Existing Apps and Games on Hard Drive

So I've had a nightmare of a few hours but to cut it down short, I've had to reinstall Windows on my SSD.

Before I had to do this, I had installed a few games from the Xbox PC Store (Beta) with my PC Gamepass. Now, I installed these games on my D drive, not my C drive, because of space and so I don't lose my data.

After installing Windows, is it possible to simply point the Xbox app to my files and use them normally or will I have to delete everything and redownload them?

Apps & Games lists a program that does not exist

I uninstalled the Sims 4 months ago but a logoless version of the program still is listed under apps and games inside the settings. When I click to uninstall, it says that C:/Programfiles(x86)/The Sims 4/unins000.exe does not exist. It also says in apps
and games that it's taking up almost 9 Gigabytes on my hard drive, so I'd like to make that not be the case. Please help.

 

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
