I did a clean install of windows 10 on my SSD, but I still have a lot of games installed on my harddrives. Is there anyway to make it so the game executables are able to be found and launched using the search in the start menu? Don't want to constantly have to navigate to the game folder to launch it. Thanks!

Not tried this myself but you can set an index location to the hard drive with your games on. Type "index" in Cortana, click modify then select the drive. You may have to rebuild the index after, click advanced then rebuild.

Make a shortcut of all your games and put them in the Start Menu. This will be sure to work, and accessible from the Start Menu.

This is probably the better option, just tried the indexing on mine and doesn't seem to have helped any, however I am still indexing files so not sure what the outcome will be. Currently at 200k files haha!
