Need help transfering game files to new pc

[Blackheart89]

Hello everyone. The current pc I have right now is really old! It's called IdeaCentre K320 and idk how I got through it all of these years but now i am going to build a new pc so I have questions. Because this is a old pc and idk if it's possible to take out the hdd, Is there a way to transfer game files like WoW and League without redownloading them on to let's a say a 128gb usb drive and then place it on my 250g ssd when i assemble my new pc?

Also for the ssd, I am thinking of only puting my games and os only since those are the most things i use. Is this a good idea? thanks!

As for game files, probably you can move them yes. Do a quick search of 'moving [game] files to new PC', there are plenty of tutorials out there.

And yes, that is a good idea for the OS and games front!

Thanks for the reply! I have been checking for the past 2 days but most of them only says get a portable drive or external or take out your hdd and put on your new pc to download it to the ssd but i dont i could do any of that except for what i have mentioned :/

Putting it on an external drive is basically the same as what you said about a USB. Also you could technically move the HDD over to the new PC temporarily to copy files over, cutting out the middle man (USB)
