Pretty much this. I’d copy anything I want to keep onto a temporary drive, (cloud storage, a USB drive, second SSD, etc), then use it as an excuse to refresh my install. Then just copy everything from that temporary storage after my new install is finished.


I think RuneScape is notable because the entire game ran in your browser. There was no install, so a lot of the game content was streamed. And streaming anything on 56k is impressive.
