Windows 10: Reinstalling Windows. Will the files be re-registered in the Registry Editor Regedit?

I want to reinstall Windows. I have 1 SSD and 1 HDD in my computer. All games and some programs are installed on the HDD. Windows is on the SSD.So, when I reinstall Windows, I'll disconnect the HDD so as not to confuse the disks. Then the Windows installation process will begin I will delete all data, including Windows itself. After Windows is successfully installed, I will connect the HDD.Question: when I follow all the steps I described above, will the games and programs that are installed on the HDD run without any problems? Will they register again in the Registry Editor Regedit?P.S.I

:)

 

Registry Editor

Kim,

If you call the file SomethingOrOther.reg instead of SomethingOrOther.key then it will do open with RegEdit & write the value in the Registry.

If you really want to do it the hard way, when you see the Open with list [either doing it through
Properties or just right-clicking on the file & selecting Open with], click on
More apps and then scroll to be bottom of the list and click on Look for another app on this PC then browse to
C:\Windows\System32\regedt32.exe and select that.

That will open the file using the Registry Editor but you will need to try it to find out if RegEdit then does what you want it to do. I have never heard of anybody taking this approach so I don't know if RegEdit will handle it in the normal manner. Even
if RegEdit tries to do what you want it to the results will depend on write permissions already having been set up for that location in the Registry.

Even if the Registry key is created correctly, there is no telling if the Vemar software will handle it correctly. Installation of the Vemar software will have set many more Registry keys than this one and the value of the key might also include reference
to the current hardware in order to prevent unlicensed distributions.

...

you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.

 

Accidentally deleted registry file

This is the way where you can restore your Registry files:

1. Open the Registry Editor: type regedit at Run and click OK.
2. Go to the File menu and click Import.
3. At the Import Registry File window, browse to locate the backup file (on the Desktop, if you saved it there)
4. Select the file and click Open.
