Hey there, nikospc!

You could clone the drive with your games, but it's highly recommended to do a re-install of the programs/games. Otherwise, it's possible that you might encounter issues with some of the software apps. I guess you could give the cloning a try, using Acronis True Image WD Edition but copy/paste-ing won't work for those program files.
You can take a look at the utility's features and download it here: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=R6NCy2
Here's an article from our KB as well, that explains how to use it for cloning: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=ZTSJJQ

Hope this helps. :) Good luck!
