Transfer files from Win7 Steam Library to Ubuntu efficiently.
Transfer files from Win7 Steam Library to Ubuntu efficiently.
I made a mistake with Windows 7, but now I’m using Ubuntu. I really like its simplicity and small size, even though not many programs work with it. I plan to dual boot and keep my old Windows 7 Steam games backed up on the D drive so they stay safe during reformatting. How can I do that?
Transfer the SteamApps directory to an external storage device and revert it upon completion of reinstallation. Task finished.
No, since the files are entirely distinct (based on my CSGO Windows to Linux Mint setup)
You want to preserve your game data on Linux after playing on Windows? That’s tricky. You’d need to locate where the save files are saved, which isn’t publicly available. Reaching out to Valve might help, though their support is often unreliable. Copying Steam apps could work as a workaround.
This would apply if we were discussing a Steams Linux release, but here we're focusing on backing up Windows data with Linux.
