Hello, I need to clean install Windows 11 but I want all the programs and software installed back to my pc, so is there a way to backup all the software and programs without os files and restore back as it was before without losing data of all the programs and software?

Please Help 🙏

(Googled it and didn't find any ans)

No. You can find out where the particular programs store their settings/config (it will be different for each) and potentially back that up, but you'll have to reinstall everything.

Ok, I thought there would be a app like maccrium reflect which can just backup and restore all of it without os files since data migration feature works just fine and and restores all the programs!
