Windows 10: Re-install windows with keep personal files and apps

My windows is currently acting strange. For example it wont let me access the control panel giving me an error message and when I start or restart my laptop explorer.exe doesnt run and I have to manually start it from the task manager. I want to fix windows with the keep files and apps option but I have a concern.



My main concern is will I have to re-download all my games? My internet isnt the best and it would take me days of downloading to get all of them back and just wanted to know if they would remain installed.



All other app installations im not worried about but because of the size of the games and time I would have to spend reinstalling them im having second thoughts. Can anyone answer this for me?

Need to re-install Windows7, how do I keep my old files?

Windows7 keeps blue-screening on me and I need to re-install
so i figure to keep my data it's either:

partition drive and dump files there
reinstall windows and check in windows.old folder
or at worst have to back EVERYTHING up and reinstall

Any idea how I would go about keeping my files on the same drive and reinstalling?

 

What files are considered as "Personal Files"?

Hi,

Personal files includes documents, photos and videos. If you saved these kind of files in D:\, it will be considered as personal files.

If you choose to reset your PC and keep your files, it will:

• Reinstall Windows 10 and keeps your personal files.
• Remove apps and drivers you installed.
• Remove changes you made to settings.
• Remove any apps your PC manufacturer installed. (If your PC came with Windows 10, apps from your PC manufacturer will be reinstalled.)

Should you have any other concerns, don’t hesitate to let us know.
