    Copying game files to a different computer


    Is it possible to copy the downloaded game files for a game from the microsoft store onto a different computer? I currently have a game downloaded on my desktop, but I want to be able to play on my laptop aswell, and being able to simply move the files would be helpful as I don't have unlimited Wi-Fi.

    :)

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

    how to copy files from the CD to the Computer drive

    Hi Hankriegler,

    I would suggest you to follow the steps below:


    • Press Windows key + X.

    • Click file explorer from the list.

    • Select the CD/DVD drive and hit Enter.

    • Select the files you want to copy from the CD/DVD, then select the drive where you want to paste or save.
    I hope the information is helpful.

    Thank you.
