Solution alexoiu Jan 16, 2014 The easiest way is to search for the games save folders location (google for it) and save those folders on HDD or USB. Ex: http://forums.techdiscussion.in/showthread.php/1296-Battlefield-3-End-Game-Save-Game-Location-On-Windows Theoretically, you can't transfer a game from an OS to another. You'll have to reinstall the games and then copy the "save" folders to the same locations.

C crookedmouth Honorable Mar 2, 2013 697 0 11,160 Jan 16, 2014 #3 You really can't because of each games registry entries. In theory you might be able but in the end it is just easier to re-install all the games. With Steam and Origin this can be daunting but really you should re-install. Upvote 0 Downvote
