For example, if I had a minecraft data windows 8.1 that I wanted to back up and put into my new computer that is windows 7...Would there be any complications? same question goes for any games

Don't call me a nerd, it makes me look slightly smarter than you

In some cases it even is fine as to keeping the whole game as it is. I once had to reinstall Win7 on my SSD and ended up redownloading not a single game since steam adn origin managed to just relocalize them all on my 2. drive.

Another example: My friends once just copied kerbal Space program onto an USB-stick and and gave it tome. I was like "dats not gonna work bro" but it did just fine surprisingly.

I can#T make any promises though. Good things happen but also bad things happen.
