Windows 10: Visual C++ redistributables and associated runtime

This query is about how Visual C++ redistributables and runtime are used by the OS.

Background

In a recent upgrade from win7 to win10, I encountered a program malfunction that - with a lot of experimentation - led to the probable cause being visual C++ redistributables installed under win7 migrated "in-place" to win10. Specifically, the program with them worked in win 7, the migrated combination did not work in win10, but when installed from scratch on a "clean" win10, did work.


Question 1

How is the runtime necessary to make the redistributable package work installed

a. as part of the OS?

b. as part of the package itself?


Question 2

Could a runtime/package combination used in win7 and migrated to win10 be repaired in win10 without re-installing absolutely everything, including the OS?

If so, how?
