R4 clean install windows need help with games

hi everyone, i have a quick questions here, probably everybody here wants to know this as well, does anybody have any idea how to preserve games when we do a clean install on C drive?

so i have ssd in C drive and normal hdd on my D drive,
I installed all my games in D drive and today i want to clean install the system(C drive) with windows 8. is it still possible to play my games in the D drive? or is there anyway to keep the games playable?

thanks in advance! #cheers

 

and i have another question, probably somebody there has found the way to do this..so is it possible to preserve some part of the ssd for caching the normal hdd? so for example i have samsung 256gb and say i want to preserve 30 gb to cache the normal hdd. Is that possible?

 

They will be playable, you just have to recreate the shortcut. I'm not sure if you can preserve 30gb for cache, but a 32gb msata is not really expensive in case you want it bad.

You could clone your hard drive and use a software like PC Mover.

 

I do remember when setting up a cache drive I could select the size used by the SSD so it looks possible.
