What game version do You use? Legacy or 2.60b?

Basically if You use 2.60b and You need to copy Your etkey, silent.dat and nkey if You play on nitmod.

If You don't want to download everything again You can copy the whole ET folder to a new PC, but i think its better to install there again and just move the files then (i once copied from one pc to other without installing there and had some issues maybe it was just me)

If You use Legacy You need to move the files from the documents on Your PC, if You just move the game folder, You won't transfer etkey etc.

Then as I said on Your documents Path: C:\Users\%userprofile%\Documents\ETLegacy

There is a folder with Your Legacy files where maps/etkeys/silent.dat files are stored, You need to copy that folder if You don't want to lose Your data.

Or if you have connected to onedrive, then it could be in some c:/users/username/onedrive/documents or something like that. Only seen once when those files were under onedrive.

Save your ETKey, Silent.dat, Custom cfg's and I always save all my maps in etmain.

 

Install it from scratch and then transfer these backups to the appropriate folders
