You can actually do that but i cant guarantee without any BSODs or Crashes. Might as well back the data up and install a fresh Windows on it.

If you insist on doing it then just plug and play

If I back up will it just reinstall all my programs?

You can re-download the programs, games can be backed up.

IF YOU STILL has the installer package from your downloads then you can copy it over.

I guess I can try but I'm not sure if I can get all of it.
