Yes No. Thank you! Any more feedback? The more you tell us the more we can help. Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. If the files are present, the launcher will verify them and sync your cloud saves. The above are all very easy compared to the final two options. First let's hit everyone's favorite….
Epic Games Launcher: This one will involve more work, but if you're familiar enough with PCs and Windows Explorer, it's possible to skip a full second or third… download of any game on EGS. First, get the Epic Games Launcher installed on the new PC, log in, and get the confirmation email code for your account which can sometimes take several minutes to arrive. Go to your library, find the game you want to transfer from the other PC, and click the Install button.
Yes, do this first. That's step one. Basically, find the game folder on the new PC where EGS started to download the files, and look for an ". Finally, once the file copy is finished, restart the Epic Games Launcher, go to the Library, and click resume on the game. It can take several minutes on a slower drive to validate the files, but eventually the game should be available to play.
Whether your cloud saves will come along for the ride is another story. Yes, this is a pain in the butt compared to Uplay or GOG, but at least it's possible. Which brings up the caboose. Microsoft Store: And finally, the black sheep of digital software platforms known as the Microsoft Store or formerly, Windows Store. Do you want to transfer an existing game download from one PC to another, without downloading the game again?
Too bad! You can't do it. Or at least, I couldn't get it to work after much effort. The files themselves are initially owned by the TrustedInstaller user, and you probably don't want to take ownership as it can screw things up.
But even if you do take ownership and give your account full access rights—on both the source and destination PCs—and then copy the files over, there's a problem. The Microsoft Store won't recognize the files and it won't have the appropriate license. If you've already downloaded a game in the Windows Store, you're pretty much out of luck. Your only option is to download the entire game, again, on another PC. That might not be such a horrible thing if you're dealing with Candy Crush Saga, but the bigger games like Forza, Sea of Thieves, and Gears can easily register at more than 50GB.
There is a sort of workaround if you haven't yet downloaded the game and you know you want to have it on multiple PCs. The only software I install to the default. Was this reply helpful?
