This little trick was given by Bioware for the BETA patch, but you can actually use it to avoid downloading the game again.
 
Before the upgrade to Windows 10:

• Go to your Origin game folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games)
• Copy the "Dragon Age Inquisition" folder on another disk/partition that won't be erased for the time being

Install Windows 10:

• Clean install, as long as you don't erase the copied folder (the copy, not the original)
• You could do an in-place upgrade, but then again why would you read this post...

After the Windows 10 upgrade:

• Install Origin
• Copy the "Dragon Age Inquisition" folder back into your Origin game folder
• In Origin, right click on Dragon Age and click "Repair Game"
• Origin will check your files and makes the necessary adjustments
• After all of this, if Origin still display Dragon Age for "Install", dont' sweat it, it will work...

You're good to go!

 

P.S. I wouldn't count on this to work with other games, I suspect Bioware did something special for it to work that way in Origin. But, it's a possibility this could work nonetheless with other games.

It has nothing to do with Bioware.

All Origin games work like that. I'm copying one of my posts from Sims forum:

You bought a brand new PC?
Do you still have the old PC by your side and external HDD? Cmon, external HDDs are cheaper than stuffpack nowadays... Well... Almost...

1. If no, skip to point #2.
- Copy all Origin Games on external HDD from your old PC
- Download and install Origin on your new PC, log onto it
- Copy games from external HDD to your new PC in the folder used for Origin games, you can see it here in Origin client:



- For each game you transferred, press "install" button inside Origin client
- Origin will detect there are files already on your HDD, will just verify files and patch if necessary

Superfast and no need to wait for ages till games unpack from CDs or download over internet.
Done? Off to point #3.

.
2. Sadly, it won't be so fast as point #1.
- Download and install Origin on your new PC, log onto it
- If you have physical CDs/DVDs, use them to install games! Installing from CD/DVD is usually faster than downloading the whole game (or DLC), unless you're on some 1TB Mbps link. Installations will lead your way, but it's mostly enter the installation key from the box, then next, next, ..., finish. If you receive a message that the key was already used, abort the installation, go offline (disconnect from internet) and run the installation again.
- If you don't have physical CD/DVD, or that particular software refuses to install without internet connection but yelled "already used key", you have to download it and install it by pressing "install" button on the game (or DLC) inside Origin client.
- It doesn't matter what's the source, optical media or download, Origin doesn't care, it's all good.

.
3. Some mention some license copies, 5 max, something about freeing a spot to install...
- Just forgeddit. You're good to go without thinking about that. If for some reason games refuse to run, quickly post in Technical Section.

 

It was about moving game from one PC to another.

But it also works like that if your source is - your friend.

For example if your HDD farted, just copy game files from a friend on your PC, press install in Origin, it'll verify files and you're good to go, nothing will download.

Of course, in this case if your friend had some DLC you never bought, the verification will simply exclude it - no stealing!

Thanks for the confirmation. I wasn't sure all game would be fine since I only did this for Dragon Age Inquisition, but it's nice to see it's possible with all Origin games.

Regular game on SSD, beta on HD for me, and I notice a huge difference in loading time.

[Joxer]

I play(ed) DA:I from SSD.

The problem was never loadtimes but DX crashes on cutscenes. Dunno if they ever fixed that.

[TheThirdRace]

Playing on an SSD and never had any problem with cutscenes.

Once the game is loaded in memory, whether you're using an SSD or Hard Drive isn't really making a big difference. I mean, your game won't play at higher framerate because you have an SSD. But that loading...

People still use the old platter harddrives? Eeeew!

 

(SSD all the way for me )
