Windows 10 upgrade no ffxiv

I'm going to assume you were using an older version of Windows (Windows 7 perhaps?), in which case, when you install a new version of Windows it basically requires all your programs to be reinstalled as well unfortunately, including FFXIV (this is why I loathe updating to new versions of Windows, but sometimes it's unavoidable).

Sadly you will have to reinstall the game again for Windows 10, there is no way around this I'm afraid.

I remember when I updated my old laptop to Windows 10 it said that all my files were where they were originally....yet a bunch of the stuff I had installed no longer worked. There is definitely something fishy with the automatic updating to Windows 10. So it could be that the directories aren't quite named the same as they originally were which is definitely annoying, and concerning.

If you can find the launcher file, you can just make a shortcut on your desktop to it. FFXIV will run off of any media. When I moved my copy from my PCIE 4 drive to a secondary ssd, all I did was copy/paste and changed the shortcut.
