Hi,

I have a new pc on the way with no OS installed as of yet, 

I want to back-up my games so that I don't have to sit and wait for all the maps to download.

I'm currently running Windows 7 Pro.

 

Are there any specific folders I can copy and then just copy over once I have installed the game on the new machine?

I know my config file might need tweaking as the new machine is different specs (or does this not matter), or i can just copy my binds portion.

 

Also I have origin and steam , can i copy my game contents or do i have to download the huge 80 odd gb of Battlefield 4 all over again?

 

ONE MORE QUESTION

Should I stick with Windows 7 Pro or upgrade (?) to 8 Pro?

 

cheers

 

Elbow

Hey man!

 

About upgrading first.. NO stick with Win 7 especially if you only use the PC for gaming.

as for saving steam and origin.. yeah you have to download everything agian it sucks but yeah..

And for user maps.. I only know about cod4 save all the files right here.. C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\usermaps

As far as OS. I think that is personal preference. I heard others having success with Windows 8.1 but me personally, I love 7 Pro and will be sticking with that until I decide to go to 10.
