I just got my m14x the other day. im upgrading from the m11x r1.
i want to know how i can transfer all my games from my m11x (i bought them on steam) to my m14x.
i have an external hard drive already.
im also going to be doing a clean install to windows 7 ultimate.
thanks
-
right click on the game, properties, and one of the tabs should have a back up option. Copy to folder to external hard drive and just run the set up when you're ready.

Here is a faster way man copy the whole folder over to an external HDD. Install steam on the new pc without any games installed and log on to you account with the empty lib. After this is all done exit steam totally and then copy the old directory from the external and boom it will be working. I did this for my M11xR3 from my M15x

okay so im copying all my games right now to my external hdd which will take between 3-4 hours. much better option than downloading them all again
appreciate the help hopefully it works out fine. -
It will I did this just incase my computer crashed cause Im currently deployed to Afghanistan and also had to copy my games over to my friends computer cause he was caught in an update comming here to Afghanistan so he cant get into offline mode. But we have the same taste in games so we had mostly the same games. Plus rep if it works for you.

How long did it take to get your M14x?
I just ordered mine this morning. Est delivery date is 9/26.
thx -
it has the 1600x900 screen 1.5gb gt555 gpu, core i5. 500gb hard drive.
Idk what kind of wireless card it has though. -
Do you guys think i should upgrade the bios to a05?

Did my advice work about copying the steam content over?

i havent put them on the new laptop yet because when i try to install them from nvidia i get "the graphics driver cannot find compatible hardware"
so right now i downloaded the driver from laptopvideo2go.com and im going to see how that works out.
edit: i actually used the gpu off of the dell driver site even though its old..ill try to update them from nvidia's site tomorrow then i can start to import my games
Just got my m14x. need data transfer help.
