Recently got my old trusty Windows 10 PC back in business thanks to this great community.
I am trying to transfer saved game files from a different PC to this one and was able to find the saved games and save to a USB drive.
For one of the games the saved game folder is in documents so I opened the saved game file in the desktop and sent it to that saved game folder... no saved game file to load at game screen. It has been a long time so I am not surprised it did not work.
The other game i tried this with prompted me to choose what i use to open the file with, Microsoft store, notepad, Windows Media player, etc. I was thinking notepad, but I really don't know and been so long. I just need help. I was sure it would be easier than this so I must be missing something. Thanks for your help and patience.

Solution
First create a new save file on the target PC from within the game
search for this file to see the exact folder it is stored in
copy your old save file to this location, it might need more files then just the main save and the numbering can play a role as well
