Computer upgrade

[garmick]

I am upgrading my old computer and would like to save my Oblivion files. I have the game installed on my E drive which I will be keeping, but the My Documents folder in the C drive will be going away. It contains the Oblivion save files and some other Oblivion files. Can I just move the My Documents folder to another drive and when I replace the MB, processor, and C drive put it back without to much hassle or would I be better off redoing the whole thing. I have finished most of the game, but have completed a lot of mods that I really don't want to go through again. Just want to keep the cool stuff I got from them. Am changing out a Raptor C drive and going to try an SSD instead. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well if oblivion is anything like skyrim then in your my documents folder should be a games folder that stores your oblivion saves. You can simply copy them. And if you use Nexus Mod Manager for your mods then go to your cdrive and click the games folder then copy the Nexus Mod Manager folder. I'm not sure if any of this will work for you since I am unfamiliar with Oblivion for the PC.. I played it on the xbox360

Yes. Best practice would be to remove the old drive connection before installing the new stuff...just in case Windows decides to call that old drive another user...then reconnect once the new drive has been formatted and booted.
