    Default Reinstalling Windows

    Org,

    I'm experiencing an issue with reinstalling Windows. One of the registries got corrupted and it caused some issues with the fans, so I was forced to reinstall Windows.

    Windows didn't format my HDD but it put everything in Windows.old folder, which was great because I kept all my files. However, reinstalling the same applications also means that I have those apps doubled, and they don't recognise the information from the computer. Also, it causes some issues - for example I cannot reinstall Origin, because the registry still recognises Origin as installed. NVidia also recognises other games installed.

    How can I solve this?

    Just reinstall the applications and transfer the saved files / documents?

    You can send the files from the Windows.old folder to their correct directory in your current windows. There's also a windows application you can download to restore the files, but the article is old, so I don't know if it will work with Windows 10.

    Has anyone upgraded to Windows 11? Is it worth the effort?

    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
