Oblivion - how to save game/character for reload on new PC?

[MichaelD]

Building a new PC. Want to reload everything from scratch.

How do I save my current progress/character in Oblivion so I can load it up later on the new PC?

Thanks.

Is it just me or does that sound contradicting? Maybe I'm just stupid...

I've done it once before. I think there's a folder in My Documents where you can get your saves. From there, just put it onto a flash drive and send it away.

Okay, I remember now...

Go here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Home\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves

Then get your save out of there, put it on a flash drive, install Oblivion on the new comp, get the save and put it in this folder on the new machine, then load it up and enjoy!

Thanks Kromis. I'm reloading the OS and the games b/c it's a completely new platform. Diff MB/CPU/videocard so I want to ensure maximum compatibility. However, I don't want to lost my character that i've spent 1 month growing!
