Swapping Trainz HD to another computer

2995Valliant · Aug 23, 2011

Could I have some advice please?

I'm about to build a new PC (assuming the courier ever delivers the bits!).

Currently my installs of 2010 and 2012 are installed on a separate drive on my exisiting machine. This drive is a fairly recent WD Raptor, and until I'm a bit more convinced of the reliability of SSD's, I'm going to swap this drive accross to the new PC, which will be running Win 7 whereas the current one is XP

Will I have to re-format that drive and re-install Trainz, or will I get away with just swapping it?

Regards,

Anthony

Just move it, need to set up your shortcuts etc, if your building a PC I reckon you can manage that. I did the same back in January no trouble running them.

That's unexpectedly good news!

Some install Trainz on an external HD, so that the Trainz program is mobile, and can be taken anywhere, even to Antarctica.:hehe:

Regarding the SSD's I bought one a couple of weeks ago and the improvements in loading times for a Route are amazing. Minutes turn into seconds. Plus frame rates are noticeably improved.
