I recently did a clean install of Windows. The biggest job is re-installing games, some are over 100GB in size (Forza 5 I'm looking at you!). Not a problem with fast internet but still time-consuming. This has to be done even if the games drive isn't cleaned/formatted.
Why can't it be like Steam - point the Steam app at a drive containing games and they're all there (providing the drive isn't wiped)
There really needs to be a way for Windows to scan drives and re-link installed games. I know the files are encrypted but if the games are linked to a MS account I don't see the problem.
Why make it such a big job!
