Complete loss of DCS installation with damaged computer Disc

[technic]

With damaged computer disc I have copletely lost my full DCS installation including Launcher. Is it possible (and how) to re-install my complete DCS installation on new disc in the new computer?

Was DCS installed on the C:\-Drive (Windows System Drive)?

If not, make a Backup from your Savegames-Folder and just install a fresh DCS from the Installer on the homepage/downloads on your new drive.

With the old Savegames-folder in place, DCS will be the same as always,m once all you paid modules are loaded.

Unfortunately, DCS was installed on C drive. This drive is unusable, nothing installed worked. The only solution available was to buy new computer. That´s why my question.

Then just start from step one. Download the installer from the Homepage and install fresh. When you log in with your credentials, all your bought modules become available.
Unfortunately you have to set up everything again (controls, graphics etc.)

p.s. that is for stand alone of course. Steam is Steam.

(I would recommend Stand Alone though)

Is this related to the windows update issue that has affected some drives?
