NEED TO RETRIEVE MY GAMES FROM MY C DRIVE: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games

★ Apprentice

Hello, Gamers!

 

I need some help, please!  First let me say that I hate Windows updates right about now.  Windows 10 did an update and it pretty much set my laptop almost back to factory mode, save for a few files and apps.  One of them was my Origin!  Disappointed  But I didn't know this until I tried to play my Sims 4 game.  Everything that I had was GONE!  It wasn't even in the Origin Cloud that I had activated.  Now on the installs and saves section of Origin it shows that my games are located on my C drive:   C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games, to be precise.  I've opened one of folders and everything is showing to be there.  Even the modification date is showing when the last time I had actually played. 

 

I've also saved them to my flash drive but I'm so desperate to get my games back I know I'm missing a step.  I don't know how to reinstall them from my flash drive and I won't try it for fear of deleting the games completely.  Now here's the question, HOW do I, first, SAVE and then retrieve games?
