My old game was installed under c:\winspwwii

I never let it install under program files.

I didn't see any install exe or otherwise, I just copied the whole folder to a USB, then copied it to the D drive on a newer computer. The last patch I had installed was version 12.

I created a new folder d:\spwwii, copied the files from the USB, it copied everything, saves and all, and in the 4 tests I ran, it appeared to be working in both full screen and windows mode.

The first time it just crashed out, then it seemed to work, I could even load old saves. (that was a trip down amnesia lane)

After I think I got it working, I DLed and unzipped the version 13 patch to the folder, d:\wpwwii, it now says that it is version 13 and as long as I open it with any of the three files:

win7spww2
winspww2
ww2gameoptions

it seems to run and work, but I am worried since I never "installed" it, just copied the files, there might be a problem.

What is your opinion on the stability of doing that?

Thanks for your earlier reply

EDIT: I am running it on compatibility mode (windows 8.1) on windows 10
