Thanks Windows 10 for self destructing and taking my files with you :)

to restore the programs on my computer

It doesn't give you everything you need, particularly if you have to install stuff like the creative cloud or more focused dev tools, but it's a good start in getting a blank install into something that's actually useful with just a few click.

If you're a gamer, you should also know that the Steam folder and all the games installed within can be backed up and restored just by copying the steam folder itself. You can move the steam folder anywhere you want or to any other computer and it will just work as is and steam will execute the installers for third party software libraries whenever it detects a game has been run for the first time even if your steam folder comes from an older computer.
