A modern computer has great capabilities. Competition between industry leaders has led to the rapid development of its components, improving performance in general. Games are considered the most resource-intensive applications for a computer. But to play any of them, you must first copy it to your hard drive.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - built-in or external USB DVD-rom;
- - USB flash drive.
Instructions
Step 1
Turn on your computer and prepare copy media. A computer game, like any program, can be copied as a distribution kit or in expanded form. In the latter case, the game itself must be prepared for this kind of copying.
Step 2
Burn the folder with the game already installed on the DVD so that you can then copy it to another computer. Start the data copy program you usually work with. It might be a preinstalled Windows utility. However, for reliability, it is still better to use third-party software. For example, the leaders in the field of free and high-quality software for copying data are Ashampoo Burning Studio Free (https://biblprog.org.ua/ru/ashampoo_burning_studio_free/), BurnAware Free (https://www.burnaware.com/index. html), Free Studio 5 (https://www.dvdvideosoft.com/), etc.
Step 3
Please note that in addition to the folder where the game files are located, you must also transfer the registry values to DVD. Otherwise, even if you successfully copy from a DVD to another computer, the game, as they say, "will not start."
Step 4
Find and copy the folder from your computer's registry. To do this, click on "Start", find the regedit program in the search. Run the utility software for editing the registry and explore the branches of the database. Usually the branch you are looking for looks like Hkey_Local _Machine -> Software -> the name of the game or company. Copy the values to a folder on the DVD.
Step 5
Transfer folder data from DVD to new computer. For a successful copy, it is best to put the folders in the root of the system drive C or in the Games folder.
Step 6
Go to the folder where the registry data is stored. Modify the game installation records to reflect the new location. So, for example, if the game was placed on the C drive, and was previously on the D drive, then you need to redo the D / Games / Action record to C / Games / Action.
Step 7
Burn the distribution kit of the game to DVD and copy it to your computer for later installation. The distribution kit is the launch file for the installation of the game, it is much smaller than the already deployed program. In addition, you do not need to carry out any additional operations, you just need to transfer the exe. or bin. file.
Step 8
If there is no built-in DVD -rom, you can copy the game using an external DVD to USB. You can also use a large flash drive (from 4gb).
