Hope you are well. Getting a new PC as old one is getting on a bit. I mainly play COD4 freezetag, some BF 4 through EA's login. The new PC that I'm looking at getting has no DVD drive. Normal now I suppose. Now, I started playing Freezetag years ago when you loaded the games origins onto the PC via DVD drive. Then I access the online game through HSLW gameserver tool. The questions I have are:- How will I be able to play Freezetag on my new PC? Will I have to re-buy the game and load on to be able to play? Is there a way of saving all game data from my old PC onto an external 1TB drive and just moving it over to the new PC (and how would I do that?) I know I sound like a complete noob but I've been playing Freezetag for ages and upgrading to a new PC and getting things to work again seems a little alien to me now. Thanks if you can help.

Keeps your shiny new ssd free from clutter then you can just move the most modern intensive games to the ssd so they run faster. KaptCrunch 1 Awards

Copy your game's entire folder and overwrite the one in your new computer. You can use your 1TB drive to transfer from one PC to the other. This is the easiest solution. All the downloaded maps will be copied over as well. EA will take care of BF4 installation. You don't need HLSW the favorite servers will be copied over as well. KaptCrunch 1 Awards

Have two optical drives in my W10 box. For the W11 box bought an external optical drive CD/DVD/Bluray - R/W. Connects via USB - works great. google and KaptCrunch 1 1 Awards
