Still waiting to build my rig, can I download all files to a flash drive to load on my computer later?

Thank you for the help.

Provided you have the space, you sure can. That's what I do with some of my gog games.

You can download or copy your files to an external usb device (flash or hard disk) to use later.

Perfect, thanks for the quick response.

I'll go buy a few !

Yup. When it asks you where to download just point it to your flash drive or external drive. It's as simple as that. Running off of one might be an option as well, though possibly requiring some editing.

You can also test the process of downloading games with some of the free ones that should already be in your library. Any game you buy will work exactly the same.

Or, you can just maintain your digital library on Gog until you are ready to install onto your new rig.

Just to make sure you realize, there isn't any kind of restriction how many times and when you download your GOG games. You can do it whenever and as many times as you want, as long as GOG servers are up of course.

This is the norm also for other digital stores, no restrictions on how many times you can download your game. The only exception I remember from the past was Strategy First's store, where there was some restriction (either that you can download the game installers only a few times, or maybe there was a time limit, like 30 days after purchase). And maybe Amazon had a similar restriction for some of their digital goods years ago (but not anymore)?

So, unless you are afraid GOG might go bankrupt in the near future, you can postpone downloading your purchased GOG games until your rig is ready.

Thank you sir for the advice.

So I need a little help, is there anyway I can install and run an older game from a flashdrive?

My school gives out computers and were getting back into the season of downtime.

The game i am trying to play is RCT2, I have installed in onto my personal computer, but when I even move the game files folder to the desktop, the game will no longer start because it is looking for a CD Disk. Any Ideas??
