Are you running Windows? On both? Which version(s)?

“Using the Files and Settings Transfer WizardThe Files and Settings Transfer Wizard helps you move your data files and personal settings from your old computer to your new one, without having to go through much of the same configuration you did with your old computer. For example, you can take your personal display properties, folder and taskbar options, and Internet browser and e-mail settings from your old computer and place them on the new one. The wizard will also move specific files or entire folders, such as My Documents, My Pictures, and Favorites. Passwords are not moved with program settings when you use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. This is a feature of the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard that helps to keep your passwords confidential.

We recommend that you install a virus detection program on the new computer before transferring files over from the old computer. This can help protect your new computer from viruses that may be contained in the files transferred over from your old computer.

To open the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. “

computer programs? Are you talking about game engines? I’m pretty sure they have several of those and other programs for different types of games. Of course, all of those are in-house; meaning, those programs are not available anywhere else. A lot of developers create their own engines, but some of them use other game engines such as Unreal Engine, but they have to pay for those. Nintendo’s engines are only for Nintendo first and second party developers only.

There are different ways to create games, but it’s not easy. For example, you can create 3D polygonal characters using May or Lightwave. The only problem is that those programs are crazy expensive ($ 1,500+ for Lightwave), and they are for animation mostly. If you want to make a character with detail and something that is only yours, you would need to customize it using other programs such as Photoshop for design and Zbrush for adding detail to your creation in real time.

All of those are programs available to the public, but they are crazy expensive each, and if you don’t know how to use them, then you’re going to have a lot of trouble. I would say Photoshop is the easiest to use, but you may need more programs and presets. That’s why game companies make their own game engines, so that they don’t have to create everything from scratch and can be use for many different types of games. There are free programs, but for the most part, they lack complexity and creation tools. If you want to try and make games using something like Lightwave, then you would also need to know physics for actual rendering and ridging, not to mention, animation.
