Do I have to re-install after system reset??

Had to reset W10 today to sort an issue unrelated to P3D .... that leaves me with P3D v4.4 on a non-C drive, but of course missing the elements installed on C .... can I run some sort of repair(and if so how?) or is it a case of having to go back to re-installation from scratch???
