Hi,

I plan on buying a new pc in 2 years or less, once ice lake and the new volta chips come through. However, I was wondering if gog has a function where one can suddenly change the setting of all my gog pc games to "uninstalled", and then enable it so that I could reinstall all gog pc games on my new pc (over a few hours automatically)without laboriously doing it all 1 by 1? If not, please allow this to be doable. Cheers!

I don't see the need to have it uninstalled on one PC. Perhaps you can use Galaxy to queue the download/installs for the new PC? Haven't used it in forever.

Just transfer the HDD with your games from the old PC to the new one and do a Scan & Import with Galaxy.

The trouble is that I plan on buying the new pc when the ice lake intel chip comes. It has a new motherboard to come with it, as usual. From what I have read online, it is imperative to install all over again in such a case, as it otherwise fouls up the new PC, what with mods etc. Also, I might(?) buy a new OS hard drive by then so as to ensure long-term lifespan of the new pc and increase the size of my OS drive(it's only 960GB and some gog etc. PC games have had to be installed on another hard drive as well).

Just make your current drive with the games a secondary drive. Scan it with Galaxy and they should work as Galaxy fixes all that is needed.

You can do a clean OS install on your new HDD/SSD and still carry over the old HDD afterwards to use as a storage drive.
