Does anyone know how to backup Halo2 (and H2server) , its activation and other related GFWL files in order to transfer to a fresh Windows install? Going from win7 to 10

I'm out of activations for my keys, cause I've reinstalled numerous times.

Reading online I found that these are the folders you should back up:

"C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Xlive"
"C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\GFWLive"

Also found these reg keys with info..
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Software\Microsoft\XLive

Just wondering if there are any other folders or registry keys to backup?

%localappdata%\Microsoft\XLive\Titles\4d53080f
Back up the config.bin and token.bin files. These are your activation files. (As long as you do not reformat your harddrive)
token.bin file is hidden by default so you will need to enable hidden files to see it.

%localappdata%\Microsoft\Halo 2
Saved games (variants and profiles)
