Windows 10: Keeping Programs on D, while formatting C?

Hey guys.

I dont know if this is the right spot to ask questions like that but anyways:

I will get a new PC in the next month and I want to format my C, and E drive, but keep a lot of Plugins and Programs which are installed on my D drive. So my question is: Can I just export the registery file out of my current C and paste it on the formatted one in some months? Does it work that way?



Thanks for you help.
