    Either that, or copy the game from your old machine to a USB stick - then plug that into the new machine and copy from there.

    USB 'stick' from old machine - copy to new one
    repair if necessary

    If all else fails snail paced download from your account page...

    I would try to install it from the website. If you look under your account you should see the option of downloading and installing the game.

    You can download it(takes a long time) and then just log in with your existing account.

    These are dirt cheap; heck even Wally-world has 'em. Inexpensive USB sticks have driven down media costs.
    Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.
    Stealth is to Thieves as Magicka is to Mages

    Thanks everyone I'm back in the game. With this new PC it took less than 15 mins., to download. I then went right into Cyrodiil to see if lag was still going to be a problem and it wasn't. No issue's at all. I'm down right giddy. Thanks again.

    These days it would probably take longer to install from a disc then downloading, because it would install the version of the game as it was when the disc was made, then it would have to download all the updates.

    Even if it only installed the latest version of each file which needs replacing rather than literally downloading every update (which I really hope it does) it would probably just be faster to install the latest version directly.
