About DIM and current content

So I had to send my new computer back to CyberPower PC for some fixes. It wasn't up to snuff.  They had enabled some "feature" in the BIOS that kept me from seeing all of my drives except for the main drive... There were also issues with the chassis with a panel that kept popping off and wouldnt' stay on... couple of other niggles too so back it went but it gives me the opportunity to plan things out a bit more

So dealing with DIM and wanting a smooth transition from what I actually have downloaded and installed I ran into a little issue when re-setting up my current rig as my workhorse until the new one comes back... I found that the Genesis Essentials were not loading up correctly so had to reinstall all of them via DIM so I wouldn't get a bunch of gray blocks in my viewport.  So that brought up another concern.. considering I have thousands of products installed and have DIM pointed to my D:/ drive will all I need is the directory from here:

\Users\Public\Public Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\ManifestFiles ?? 

Will this will be enough to make sure that DIM won't want to redownload and install all these files AGAIN? 

If I need any additional directories please let me know so DIM can just pick up where it left off...

Thanks so much!

    I have moved all DIM related files to another drive, so all is in one place, then you just have to point DIM to these folders if you reinstall DIM/OS.
