Finding Minecraft saves on old hard drive?
I replaced my old hard drive with a new SSD, and didn't grab my old saves for MineCraft beforehand. The old hard drive is connected back into my computer as a secondary drive (D:) I haven't wiped it yet, so the saves should still be there, right?
I can't find where the saves are - the internet says the file path should be Users/<user name>/AppData/Roaming
... etc. When I go into the <user name>
folder, AppData isn't there.
How do I find the old save files? I'm running the latest version of Windows 10.
Solution 1:
AppData is a hidden folder. You will have to enable hidden items. In file explorer, click view, then click hidden items check box. Here is a tutorial.
Windows 10, your directory would be:
D:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves
Change <username>
to your old user name for windows.
You can then copy the entire contents of the saves folder into the new minecraft saves folder to transfer all of your old worlds.
