Transferring save data.

[rad_knight]

Just bought a new pc and want to transfer my save data from my current pc to the new one. I have no idea how to do so, and need some help (ps, when it comes to computers I’m about as dumb as they come)

In that case, use this: https://www.gamesave-manager.com/

Use this handy utility to copy all of them from the old PC to a USB stick and then from that over to the new PC. It puts them all back in the right places too.

If the game has Steam cloud then you wont need to worry. Any others that aren't cloud-enabled, you can usually find their saved files in the documents directory.

and copy the entire ''userdate'' to the new pc.

thats a start.

might also want to look for savegames in your ''my documents'' folder and more

On the left side https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/e/explorer-win10.jpg you should be able to see the folder. Some of your games content should be in there. Other titles may be cloud-enabled so it's worth checking each one.

mine says local disk instead of primary drive, is that the same thing?

Yeah that's the one. Copy which game files you may need and then when on your new device, just paste them back in. You may need to run the games first to generate a save file and then simply replace the new creations with your old ones that you can paste over.

Like the hidden Appdata folder, some games put their saves and config files there.

Don't just guess where the save data might be. PCGamingWiki tends to list the locations; it's not an "official" site run by game developers/publishers, but they are still trying to list correct information.
