    Make windows recognize apps from previous installation.


    So I just set up a new windows installation since I got a new SSD.
    I partioned it, installed windows on the partition and started installing my browser and driver and such. When I was done I wanted to check my games I have downloaded from the Xbox gamepass for PC app. I ofc installed them on a separate drive that I left untouched during the installation. So now I had the probmel that I had a 400gb+ folder that windows doesn't recognize at all... After some. Fidiling I just gave up and deleted the "windows Apps" folder that hoarded all those data. My question now is COULD I have done anything (or could I DO anything next time) that would allow me to Keep all these files instead of deleting 400gb worth of games? Windows genuinely doesn't seem to get on the idea to read this folder by itself...

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    +1

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
