re-linking a device

I had to install a new Windows OS, and was afraid that doing so might delete all my files and then sync those deletions--so I unlinked this PC from Dropbox.  Actually, nothing was deleted on my PC.  But now, I can't figure out how to get this PC linked again so it will sync.  I have searched the FAQs, but can find NOTHING on how to re-link.  Please HELP!!  Thank you.
