Project Files suitable after Windows reinstallation?

Rafa20

Short question: I have few issues after changing my motherboard and GPU. I also have iray preview and rendering problems. It takes very long till iray loads a preview, even with 200 samples and on interactive (at drawing too by the way)! And it crashes in lil bit bigger scenes! Before it didnt at the same scenes and it was much faster though it was "only" one 1080 strix GPU. Now I have 2x 1080 Ti and it is a disaster! I also cant install the actual nvidia driver (installation fail all the time)! So I think the best solution would be to reinstall my windows 10 pro. But I'm not sure if all my saved programms and clothed characters etc. will be usable after that. I saved them on an extern hdd and also the entire "my library" folder. But it would be a disaster if many hundreds of hours work would be for nothing. So will daz studio recognize my old project (.duf) files after a complete windows reinstallation? Or is there a special save function in daz studio for that which I should use before I do that???

As long as it's not on the boot drive your data will be safe, and as long as you re-add all the content directories the DS files will open. You will need to reinstall applications if you do a clean install.
