How to prevent game saves losing when reinstall Windows?

[iafko69]

Hi, I want to reinstall my Windows (now I'm with Win 10, I want Win 7 back)
What should I do to NOT lose my game saves?
And if it needs additional software to backup, please recommend!

You don't have many games, so... Look at their store pages. If they all say "cloud save" in features you don't have to do anything. Most games without cloud save in "MyDocuments", just copy that on a USB stick.

If you have a second HDD you can save all your games there before formating than when reinstall windows just make sure you have security permissions on the drive and you wont need to reinstall either.

Ye....
I forgot to mention, all my games are installed on D: drive
OS is on C: drive

There is a program called Game Save Manager that should back up (the saves of) most if not all of your steam games. Most up to date games do use cloud saves, so between that and this program you should be covered.
There may be a better/newer program out by now, here's a link to the program I know about

What I always do is look up the save folder for my games and back them up on a different drive. I don't play all my games all the time so I only have to back up a few games every now and then. It's the only way to guarantee that they'll still be there after you wipe your system.

The game saves I want to buckup are BattleBlock Theater, Trine, Rayman The Legend and BroForce

Razer Cortex also has a feature that allows you to automatically backup your game saves to places such as OneDrive or Dropbox. https://www.razerzone.com/cortex
