Migrating WoW
#2
Quote:Tomorrow I plan to install Windows 7. What is the best way to migrate my WoW installation? In the past when installing a fresh copy of Windows XP I have installed WoW from the discs and then copied over my existing WoW files. There must be an easier way. Since I now have WoW on its own drive, I'm thinking I could just use the same files without doing anything else.

Am I missing something? Does any know the proper way to migrate?


Last time I moved I just had to copy the directories. There wasn't anything "anchored" to the windows install.

If it's on it's own drive, you should be able to just use that.
Add new shortcuts to the start menu somewhere so smartsearch works on the menu.

Try it. Worst case is you have to install from the discs and download all the freaking updates again anyway, but I don't think you'll have to.

And it came... and it went... and I played Hearthstone longer than Diablo III.
