    I thought TSW 5 has a cloud which would transfer my savegame to my new PC but it looks like it doesn't.

    How can I do this? I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY PROGRESS!!!!!!

    Your profile is saved under a certain file you can find in the Documents folder.

    Coy everything in the folder Documents/My Games/TtranSimWorld5 to the same folder on your new computer. Simple as that. Do not forget to make backups of this in regular intervals.

    A useful way I do this is that I regularly make a full image backup of my Windows drive to an external SSD using Macrium Reflect Free Edition.
    Just takes a couple of clicks and a minute or so (if using Gen4 NVMe drives), and the image can then be a: used to restore your system, or b: mounted and explored to copy data from your user folder to a new system. Something I had to do recently after my old laptop died on me.

    I wish I could but suddenly my old PC can't display a screen anymore. Idk what workaround I could do. I don't want to play every timetable or scenario once more from a fresh profile.

    This might be the final solution if all else fails. But I haven't done any hardware-techinal stuff.

    In the end it was the HDMI cable plugged in a wrong slot. I copied the files on a USB-Stick and pasted them into my new PC's directory. I have now everything back. Thanks for the help.

    If possible, the thread can now be closed.
