Windows 10: Will i have to reinstall all of my softwares, apps, files and games if i do a clean install...

I recently bought an internal Kingston 120gb SSD, i already connected it but now i want to start using it and get the benefits of a faster drive.I would like to use the SSD as my boot drive but to do that i must do a clean install of the OS on my SSD or migrate it.If i were to do the first option and do a full clean OS install would i have to reinstall all of my softwares, apps, files and games after doing a clean install on my ssd?

I can't reinstall my previously installed games!!!

Hi Fahd,

It appears that you're having an issue installing your previous games after reinstalling Windows 10. We would like to know if it is only happening when you're installing your games or is it also happening when you're installing an app from Microsoft Store.

Meanwhile, we suggest clearing Windows Store's cache by performing these steps:

• Press Windows key + R.
• Type wsreset.exe then hit Enter.
• Restart your computer.

Keep us in the loop with the result.
