I’ve backed up many of the Steam games I had installed in Windows. Am I able to use these on Linux or do I need to re-download them?

    Yep, I imaged my friend’s game drive to test this out (they have many games) and sure enough, some didn’t work after booting into Windows and later launching them with WINE. Thanks for the clarification :)

      No problem! I experienced the very same thing when I was still dual-booting so I know it well. :) Other than media disk, it doesn’t worth sharing disks between Linux and Windows. And Windows still can cause problems there.
