Guest Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 I was thinking bout future, and i was worried bout my skyrim and i just wanted to ask how u transfer the data to an older pc (skyrim modded that i have) to new pc (skryim that supposed to be receiving data)? is it just simply dragging the files? but i think it's more complicated since i use vortex and all this stuff...skse....yeah these things...so can i have help :c ?

Just Don't Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 If Vortex has a mods/downloads folder with all your mod files in there, you could at least copy/paste that to save some time. But you'll need to install Steam, Skyrim and tools like Vortex or LOOT (and skse/enb) again. And most likely you'll want to start with a fresh game.

seanthiar Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 or like I did - just download paragon Backup and restore. Made the paragon rescue-USB-Stick, started the old PC with the stick and made a backup of the whole PC on my NAS ( a big other internal drive or an USB3-Drive would work, too) over night. If one is fit enough you even could make a mirror of your old drive if you plug the drive of the new PC in the old one.(Then you don't need to restore, just put the drive back in the new PC and use Paragon to mark the drive as bootable) After successful backup i plugged the Rescue-USB-Stick to the new PC and started restore from the NAS. A few hours later I could start the PC with the familiar Windows. Only had to change the drivers and the license key. Everything worked like before. BTW - the restore rsizes the partitions to the new size if you have bigger drives in the new PC
