Does my data get deleted when reinstalling Windows?

★★★ Newbie

Hi, I've been thinking about reinstalling windows on my computer but does all my game data get deleted? I'm running Windows 10 Home 64-bit and I do have an external hard drive with 2TB.

U can copy the save games folder into a flash drive and format the hard drive then launch 1 game at a time and play it for a while till u have a new saved games folder and then replace that one with ur old one.

That'll do.

I'm not sure you even need to do that. Your data is linked to your origin account so you should be able to login on any computer and all your data should be thete., So the same should go for if you do a Windows reinstall
