Using save game with a freshly installed game

I've been thinking about installing RDR2 and playing the game through again, but I wanna use the Intro Completed save game (from Nexus Mods). I don't have any RDR2 game files on my PC atm. Can I use that save file, right after installing the game or does the save game folder get created when I have completed the Intro chapter (meaning that I can't use that save game file with a fresh install)
