Hi MrFatoni

After a re-install of Windows, you would need to download those games and apps again from the Store . . .

Log into the Microsoft Store online

Go to your Library and you should see any games/apps that you own

From there you should be able to download and install those . ..

Hi MrFatoni

Unlike Steam games, when you re-install Windows 10, you cannot just link back into those already downloaded gamed, they must be re-downloaded and installed into Windows

Hi,
I am Ganesh Gandhi, an Independent Advisor and Office Insider for Android. I am here to work with you on this problem.

Usually the saved games are stored in the ''Documents" folder, which resides in the 'C' drive. (May be present in the installation directory also, depending on the game).

Check if all the files related to he games the .lib,.dll etc are present in the drive E and not in drive C.

Search in windows old foder for saved games, backup your save game folders and place them exactly in the same place after formatting.

If you can't find it, you can recover the deleted files :
