How do i tell fallout new vegas where to find my saves now that i've moved from xp to windows 7? :confused:

Probably should have thought of that first.

Anyway did you do an upgrade? If so that will have created a Windows.old folder, any user based files should be in there, unless Fallout puts them somewhere odd.

Andi.

Just put the saves in the right place.
My docs\my games\falloutnv

I mean how do i direct fallout to find my game saves as they're now on a second storage drive, i got win7 on a new ssd and my documents is now simply documents, also i don't really want to have the saves on the ssd if possible.

Edit: it's ok i figured it out, you can make folder shortcuts using the mklink command, see this thread here.

You can also start a new game, create profile etc so it saves, then overwrite the files with your old saves. Works every time for me.
