Getting a New computer and I have some really stupid questions.......

[Sumo]

Hi all. 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.

will it be on Win 11, yes can move over your old drive to new system by Sata connection & power (provided is not M2 SSD will need adapter)  and copy files from old drive so you have a back-up of orginal drive.  write down all your games key code in CoD4 options screen or multi-player if keeping cd version.

is old system still working, can make a ISO file to a USB flash stick and 32 Gb space that will replace cd drive, have cd disc.

Drive clone, or you can just physically put the old drive in as a secondary drive. 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.
