How to Copy Your Games From one Computer to Another - Uplay, Steam, Epic Games & Origin Launchers

Copying your Uplay, Steam, Epic or Origin games to your new computer rather than re-downloading them can save you a lot of time and get you back gaming again much more quickly. Re-downloading your games to your new gaming PC or laptop can take hours or even days if you have a really slow internet connection. Thankfully there is a way to copy your games from your old PC and get yourself gaming again much more quickly. To copy your games over there are a couple little tricks you're going to need to know though. In this video I go over 4 of the most popular game launchers out there right now; namely, Uplay (Ubisoft), Steam (Valve), Epic Games and Origin (E.A. aka Electronic Arts). Each company/game launcher requires you do things a little differently in order to get your copied games to work properly without having to re-download anything and I'm going to show you what those little tricks are. So just sit back, relax and enjoy the show. If don't need to see how to do this with all 4 of these launchers and want to watch just one or two launchers in particular, you can use the time stamps below to skip directly to the instructions for that launcher. Thanks for watching and enjoy. :)

Damn, you're a genius. I was convinced that I CANNOT move my games to my new pc. And my internet is barely 100kbps. Earned a sub.

Brother this was the most well explained video so far♥️

[thspanishinquisition]

Gotta love having potato internet, thanks my dude, saved me like 12 hours of downloading

Saved my life. Downloaded GTAV on my School laptop and since literally everything is blocked on it i had downloaded The game on my hardrive. Changed pc to our home one and really didn’t wanna download the game for another day so this definitely helped me out man. Thank you

My beloved game right now is "Batman origins" before I move all old files to a new pc according to your great advice. It is the last sign of life of my old pc before I'll send it to it's retirement. Your video is great and it helped me a lot.

It works even in 2021 i tried this on apex legends from steam and it worked u earned a sub

I've done the Epic games swap so many times - and always forget the procedure. Thanks for the quick refresher. It's so simple once you know what to do. My recommendation: start Task Manager, locate Epic and end program. Best way to ensure it isn't running.

Man, this is a great tutorial. Simple, easy, everything is covered.
Great job, and thank you!

You are genius man, I have installed GTA 5 on my old laptop and don't know how to copy your games to another pc. You just save my @$$. Thanks man

6:26 Thanks for the that Epic part. Other videos talking about move to another drive but they don't telling change the computer. Your video helped me.

Yayy thank you! I love how you went over multiple launchers in one video. I use Steam, Origin(Origin is only for The Sims) and Nexon. Just got a new Gaming PC and wanted to transfer all games from my old poopy all in one desktop to the new gaming rig. Had no idea what to do! I am almost 30 years old and I’ve never done this before 😅. Anyways, thanks much for the video 💜

Got my pc fixed and I had everything on a D drive but the PC isn't remembering anything on that drive for some reason. This video was a huge help! saved me hours of potential downloading.

[thehumoriority]

im a mac user and my internet sucks, i just wanna play some fortnight but my pc itself sucks and was told windows is better for gaming so i used bootcamp to switch to windows, now the only problem was that i didn't want to download epic and fortnite again cause it took me an ENTIRE DAY to finish downloading.thanks you just saved 24 hours for me man

[oracularhaku]

idk what to say but you're the best person in the world. this helps me a lot. straight forward explanation and easy to follow. thank you so much!

[qkm]

Got myself the Razer Stealth for Xmas and the thought of downloading my Steam library again was giving me nightmares, .. Thank you so much..

[capnstevoanythinggoes]

This is the answer I was looking for. I just bought a new laptop for traveling. It's gonna be nice to have all my games. I can also install my video editor also without buying a second copy, if I am only using it on one computer at a time.

[lafuriag]

Thanks again for all the info..I have to start learning all this stuff.. Dont play that much , Have a old pc but love your videos. Have a great weekend...

[lil_propane]

Brooo... you saved me from 42 estimated hours for downloading GTA V that went to 22 minutes

[marc.mil]
