[samstalker]

i want to reinstall windows 10 while keeping all my old info as they were like i want all my programs with their registries to keep functioning well and the same way they used to work but i don't want windows 10 old files to be backed up with them cause it has some problems, i'm trying to use AOMEI Backupper

none. it either the full system or just your personal data/files.

btw i would really like to know if it's an impossible thing to be done or just that no such thing exist yet?

microsoft can't even keep their windows update working 100%, you thing there is a way to keep check of all different apps combo on a pc?

When you install something, and then use it, it makes continual edits to the registry and elsewhere.
That registry also holds lots of things that relate to the OS.

You can't spawn off parts of the registry that might apply to certain applications, and apply those pieces to a whole new Registry that exists with a new OS.

Some applications, you can export all of its current settings, and import those into a new OS. Firefox/Chrome/IE does this.
But that only applies to that individual application.
With a whole new OS install, there is no "Apply all of the stuff from the old OS".

i thought all apps have all their data placed in one place like settings, registry keys and such things each is stored in one place on the system for all apps, anyway nvm
