    Possible to backup software and restore?


    Hi, Zinstall and Laplink PC Mover are designed to do exactly what I believe you're asking- at a price.
    Laplink PC Mover will allow you to automatically reinstall the programs you select using as reference a disk image of your current PC. You can even do this if, say, your programs are installed on D and your Windows on C. (Two images).

    Thus you would image your existing system, clean install Windows and check all is ok, then install Laplink, mount the ISO's and run Laplink. (I set up a set of empty iconised folders first).

    Laplink operates another way too without using a disk image. But the license is a bit expensive for one-time use only.

    As said above, fixing Win 10 with an in-place upgrade repair install (a fresh install of Windows but keeping all programs and most settings, but not language ... etc) can be very helpful.
