## Chapter 8. Migrating from CrossOver Games

CrossOver comes with tools to migrate from CrossOver Games. Because CrossOver Games is no longer current, CodeWeavers recommends that CrossOver Games users migrate to CrossOver.

By default, when CrossOver starts, it will search for software which needs to be migrated from CrossOver Games. If CrossOver finds games which need to be migrated, it will offer to do so automatically. Allowing CrossOver to migrate from CrossOver Games automatically is the simplest option.

This chapter explains migration in detail, and describes advanced migration options available for advanced users.

## CrossOver's default migration tool

When CrossOver detects that software is available to be migrated from CrossOver Games, it will offer to migrate them automatically, as shown below.

If you click 'Migrate CrossOver Games Bottles,' CrossOver will move all of your CrossOver Games software into CrossOver. You will be able to use all of your old CrossOver Games software with CrossOver, but it will no longer be installed under CrossOver Games. (You may be prompted to quit CrossOver Games before the import.)

After all of your CrossOver Games software has been migrated to CrossOver, CrossOver will offer to delete CrossOver Games from your computer, as shown below.

Once you have migrated all of your software from CrossOver Games to CrossOver, you can safely delete CrossOver Games from your computer. You may also chose to keep CrossOver Games if you wish.
