I'm planning a reinstall of my OS for various reasons, including getting a new primary SSD. I currently have Steam, UPlay, and Origin installed, with games downloaded from each service.
My setup currently uses one SSD for the OS and applications, with the games stored on a second SSD in folders for each service. So, the paths are D:\Steam, D:\Origin, etc.
I was planning to unhook this Games drive until after I have the new SSD and Windows 10 installed. How do I go about re-adding once the games drive is reconnected? I know, obviously, I need to reinstall the applications for each service, but is it as simple as pointing each one to the folders where the games are currently installed, and they will be detected again? Or, do I have to use the trick of starting each download, then pausing the download to copy back the files one game at a time?
