I switched PC's; want to know if I can migrate Vortex's info

Hello all,

 

I recently built a new PC and got around to trying to reinstall Vortex today. Regrettably, I installed vortex on the C drive of my old PC, which meant I couldn't directly transfer the drive to my new PC and then boot up Vortex and pick up where I left off with my Fallout: New Vegas mod managing.

 

I did, however, have the "staging" and "downloads" folders on a different drive which I was able to directly transfer to the new PC. I was hoping what this would mean is that I would be able to simply install Vortex on the C drive of this new PC, and then manually adjust the "staging" and "downloads" folders to the same ones I was using on my old PC and this would allow me to pick up where I left off.

 

I have run into the brick wall of Vortex needing those two folders to be empty when you select a new one.

 

I'm hoping that one of you tech wizards out there know an easy way to get to what I'm trying to achieve? The way I see it, I have a couple of options:

1) Select empty folders, then transfer my old files into them and see if Vortex will play nice with it and remember everything that I was doing on the old PC, including install order, file override history, etc.

2) Boot up the old PC, zip up the program files folder of Vortex that's on that computer, upload it to Mega, then download it on this PC and hope that it will play nice

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks

 

Which version of Vortex are you on?

On this PC, the newest. On the old, I'm not sure but I could potentially find out.

What game are you trying to mod with Vortex?

Fallout: New Vegas.

How many mods do you have installed?

Quite a lot, easily over 100

What environment are you running Vortex on?

Windows 10 Home
