Get an external SSD, such as a WD 2TB SSD. I recently built a new computer for flight simulations, and I performed fresh installations of IL-2 and DCS. Then, I copied all the critical files from my old computer (DCS Saved Games) after updating them onto the external SSD and transferred them to the new installation. Worked like a champ. You may not need a 2TB external drive, but one large enough to transfer the files you need from the old computer to the new one. I'm still using the old gamer as my office computer, and the new rig is now part of a dedicated SimPit. The new rig has 5TB of storage, so hopefully I won't run out of space with IL-2 Korea and Combat Pilot installed. But I'll have that 2TB drive just in case.

Cheers

Thanks Hoss, I have 2tb internal as well as my external ssd as well, I was worried as years ago there was the point system for your PC when moving stuff, glad that's all gone then and I can just copy it all, thanks for that

Mind you, your old controller bindings won't work right away after copying them to new PC (because of new GUID numbers), so you'll have to spend some extra time and effort to import them properly, but otherwise you should be OK.

To this with a SimFab DCS edition SimPit..
