copy origin games from one pc
so I got a new pc and I want to play my games on it without having to re download all the games again I have on origin. Is there a way to transfer the games from my old pc to the new one?

Yep, you can just copy the entire Origin Games\Battlefield 4 folder to the new computer. Place it in the new computer's Origin Games or a location of your choice *see image below if non-default location is used*
It will say "Download" but skip the actual downloading part and jump straight to installing.
If you put Origin Games in a non-default location, you just need to go to Origin's settings and change it's Downloaded Games location.
I would do a "repair" from Origin once it's finished just for good measure.
The above answer is a little vague. Below is a much more in-depth, step-by-step process.
Follow the steps below EXACTLY and you will be able to do so:
1. Copy the game folder (i.e "STAR WARS Battlefront") to an external drive (or USB drive)
2. Once transferred re-name the folder "Copy of ..."
3. Connect the drive to the PC you wish to install the game on
4. Transfer the folder to the drive that you are planning on installing the game to ( the C drive, D drive, etc)
5. Open up your Origin Client
6. Right-click on the game you want to download / install and select "Download"
7. Let the download go for about 30-60 sec and hit "Pause" (or the Pause symbol)
8. Find the folder on the drive that it is downloading to
9. Open up the folder that the games are in and delete ALL files in that folder, but LEAVE THE FOLDER THERE
10. Now go to the folder you transferred from the external source (Copy of ...) and select and copy ALL the files inside that folder (not the folder itself)
11. Go to the folder that Origin created and you just deleted the files from and Paste the files from the "Copy of ..." folder
12. Go back to your Origin Client and press resume on the download
13. It will now take a min or two and then your download will jump to 100% and install the game
14. Enjoy!!!your solution kinda worked but not entirely, when i clicked on resume it didn't jump to 100% it was idle for some time then it jumped to 67%, but thanks any way bro
thanks man, what you have stated is a summarized version of what the other dude put below 🙂
