Can I make creative cloud find adobe apps that are on a different drive?

After changing my PC motherboard and not planning well, I now have my CC subscribed programs on a different drive and a clean install of windows 10. I can open Photoshop etc., by running the executable. Is there a method people use to get creative cloud to know that I have apps installed so it can update them etc. now that the programs I haven't run yet don't appear in the registry?

The main desktop application has to be installed on the main drive but the applications can be installed elsewhere. You may need to have creative cloud reinstall the apps to have it locate them on the new drive.

Change Install Location for Applications:

With the CC application opened, choose the little gear icon in the upper right corner and then choose Preferences.  In the Preferences screen select Creative Cloud and then look for the Install Location drop down
