Only thing i need to backup on my current HDD is my game installs.

I do have a backup HDD to use. Whats the easiest way to transfer game installs to backup HDD and then transfer back over after i reinstall windows?

You really can't because of each games registry entries. In theory you might be able but in the end it is just easier to re-install all the games. With Steam and Origin this can be daunting but really you should re-install.
