    Yes.  But it's more important to get rid of the old driver files, especially when they make a big change to a driver set.

    Wow.  127 games.  I don't think I ever keep more than 3 or 4 games installed at a time.  If you're playing them all, then that would be a big job...

    Yeah, my Steam, Origin, & Uplay accounts are full of games from over the years.  I just uninstall when done, and re-install if I decide to play again.  Whatever works for you I guess...

    There is way... backup files nvdrsdb0.bin, nvdrsdb1.bin, nvdrssel.bin & nvdrswr.lk. Do a clean install then restore those files.
