Note if you use these techniques (vs. reinstalling the games from scratch), scanning for your games may take longer and the wrong icons might be displayed (e.g., Steam, Amazon).

Steam:

Add your Steam library folder (Steam > Settings > Downloads > STEAM LIBRARY FOLDERS).
If necessary, use a tool like grepWin to do a search & replace of the install locations in your steamapps\appmanifest_*.acf files.

Epic:

Transfer the .item files in "C:\ProgramData\Epic\EpicGamesLauncher\Data\Manifests" from your old Windows install (and search & replace if necessary).

Amazon:

Transfer the folder %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Amazon Games\Data\Games from your old Windows install.
If necessary, use a tool like DB Browser for SQLite to change the install locations in Sql\GameInstallInfo.sqlite.

Itch:

Transfer the file %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\itch\db\butler.db from your old Windows install (and edit in a SQLite browser if necessary)

Indiegala:

Transfer the file %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\IGClient\storage\installed.json from your old Windows install (and edit if necessary).
