And want to transfer the years of data I’ve accumulated on that computer to my new one. I tried searching on how I would be able to transfer my saved files and came up empty, any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help you may provide!

There’s a video right here which does a good job explaining, or you can took through this thread to find out how. When I was transferring from my old Windows XP to my current Windows 7 system, I found that the easiest way was to just pull out the chat.Kongregate.com (and also the other one) folder from my old computer, store it on an external hard drive, and then play one game on the new system so that a save file is generated, then search the word “Kongregate,” and the first result should be the folder that all of your save data is stored in (I wasn’t quite sure where the folder was on the Windows 7 system, since it’s a different location for each one, it seems, so this worked for me). Just back up a few levels until you see the root folder, and replace it with your old one.

Oh, no, you just copy the root directory, the chat.Kongregate.com folder, and then paste that into where it should be on your new system, since it contains everything you need.
