Shifting games to nu drive...or not.

[Kenne]

gonna install new OS on a new 1TB drive.

but iv got games beside AH on the old drive.

so:
i redownload the games, or install the old drive as a secondary drive and play
them from there?

Redownload the games. They have things written in the Registry which will be gone with the new install. If you have saved games which you'd like to keep, either find out how to transfer the savings to another installation, or install the drive as a secondary, reinstall the games to the secondary drive over the existing ones (for new Registry entries) and hope that the settings haven't changed.

You'd get the best results by reinstalling everything, possibly being able to transfer the saved achievements.

BTW for a non-English co-AH'er your spelling is very hard to understand, but if you don't like to get answers from others than illiterate natives it's OK. I guess...

Or you could do what I did: Clonezilla the old drive to the new one, and either use the built-in OS tools or Partition Magic to fix the partitions.

Lazy? Yes, but sure as hell beats trying to remember what all I need to reinstall.

what the heck did you just say, because your spelling is very hard to understand?  there's also illiterate non-natives.  btw, I know what you meant, but that is not what you wrote.
