How to make applications from other drives pop up.

Tega

Hey, I recently rebuilt my entire rig, I installed a fresh set of windows onto my new SSD.
My HDD is now my second drive for games and old files I need to access. It has alot of applications on there but I dont want to make shortcuts for them.
They don't even show up in the search bar. So is there a way to make them show up in the search bar?

Unfortunately you probably need to reinstall the software. Some software you can get away with running without installing them but many need to be "officially" installed as there are many registry changes, and user profile data that gets created during the install.

 

Steam games you can just point steam to the games folder and when you tell steam to install the games it will see the existing games with out the need to fully redownload everything again.
