How to restore (not reinstall) two programs after W10 rebuild

Thread solved

W10 is crashing and I want to reinstall Windows. I have two programs I want to restore from back up after I reinstall Windows 10. I do not want to reinstall DPI (Dragon Professional Individual) and a stand-alone Microsoft Word 2010 because I'm out of DPI reinstall counts and I believe MS Word 2010 Standalone will prevent me from installing again.

I don't know much but I believe after a clean W10 install and updates the restore of only these to programs will need to modify the registry (I'm not confident of doing that manually.)

Instructions, please. Thank you.

Christopher, please see KB 19296: Acronis products cannot be used to transfer applications to different system or upgrade OS

The only method of recovering your DPI and Word applications would be to recover from an Acronis backup image created before the issue with causes Windows 10 to be crashing, and to recover the complete OS partition with both Win 10 and all installed programs.
