is it possable to move hames from platter HD to new SSD Drive

i got my new rig going, i'm setting it up now.

i heard you could transfer the OS..etc to the new SSD Drive. i got a new OS, the platter OS is messed up, but it still works ok... i'll just leave it where it is. but if i can move a couple games that would be nice, i cant find the CD.

thanks

As far as I know, you'll have to reinstall the games. (Because certain entries have to be made in the Registry).

You might be able to find your current product keys for the games present on the older system by using BelArc Advisor, or other such key scanners. If your games store their installation files on the PC, you might be able to copy them onto removable media, run the installer from that, and then provide your already paid-for product key that BelArc has found stored on the hard drive.

Or borrow a CD/DVD of the game from a friend, but use your current product key when installing.

Best of luck
