  1. Unable to add already installed game to windows


    I recently purchased a new ssd so had to reinstall windows on it but now the games I had installed to my other 2 hard drives while using my old ssd are not appearing in windows. I am also unable to delete the old games and reinstall them. Is there anyway to add them or atleast delete them so I can reinstall them?

    :)
