Windows 10: Reinstalling Windows Question

Hi, I've reinstalled Windows MANY MANY times over the years, but I always encounter a few issues. This time my PC has been set up differently in regards to drives, so id like to ask if there's anything I should do specifically or any conflicts which may arise. So the things I have that are not usual to my previous installs:

• I have 5 SSDs. Each one is for different things. I've moved my default Documents folder to one of these drives. My Steam Library is on another. My main W10 install is on one. My Simulators are on one, and the scenery files for those sims are on another. With that in mind;
• If I don't uninstall my Steam Games (which are on what's called G, will I run into issues? I.e., will they still work on a new W10 install or should I just uninstall them all and start fresh?
• I want (and need) to keep my Documents folder intact. When I reinstall W10, I'm guessing it will put my documents folder into C: as usual. Will there be any issues or conflicts if I just re-link to the Documents folder (currently on H? How would I do this?

I will be uninstalling the Sims, definitely so the main questions are around Steam and my Documents folder.
Also, I'm totally open to suggestions that would allow me to remove the accumulated crap and keep my current install. I usually find that after around six months, things start slowing, so I just reinstall Windows, and it fixes everything, but im probably just not doing proper maintenance!

Reinstall System Image Question

Reinstall System Image Question –
When saving a system image in Windows 10, it saves it as “Windows Image Backup.” I then add the date to the listing and save it. Therefore, I have a list of backups that read like “Windows Image Backup 9-4-19.”
So, this is my question.
If I need to reinstall my system image, does Windows allow me to choose any of the backups in my list to reinstall?
Thanks,
Jerry

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
