Windows 10: How to reinstall Windows Store apps after Win10 reset without download

Good Morning/afternoon everyone

I recently did a factory reset of my system, because of some file explorer issue (that particular issue by the way appears quite regularly on multiple computers, ie opening File Explorer takes forever - like 1min or so - and I get errors when trying to access network shares)

Now all of my big size Windows apps are stored on my D: driver, around 400GB Worth of data (yes, games tend to be big).

After the factory reset, I cannot access them anymore. They are visible with SpaceSniffer (launched in admin), I can see the folders, but I can't access them. If I try to access them through the store, it asks to redownload them…

I have a second drive that I just setup (1TB SSD), but in any case I don't know how to move the relevant folders on the secondary drive, and have Windows recognize them.

I could understand if I had to redownload a few MB of data (encrypted files and such), but all the media assets ? We're talking about 400GB of data here…

Any pointer would be welcome

Regards

:)
