Windows 10: Restore a Game

I purchased the game 60GB large from the store.

I downloaded and installed the game.

as my main hard drive is small I moved the game to my G Drive


The game worked perfectly


since then my main hard disk crashed hardware failure due to power surge as far as i can make out and I rebuilt my windows on another new hard drive


Is there any way for me to use the game files that still exist on the Gdrive without having to download the whole thing again?


Thanks

Chris

Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.

1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
   
   
   
4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
5. Boot up with your new HD.
