Community Admin@yasin chhabuYep, it should work mostly without issues, and you may need to verify the new system. Online progress for games is generally saved to the multiplayer servers so you don't need to worry about lost progress.
Solo progress can often be kept current between games by using cloud storage, so if you want to play solo make sure that this is active.
Also, maybe it's not a problem for you, but if you want to save on download times/data usage you may want to check this article for transferring the game files to a new system.

Thanks for the heads up. I actuallybwantbto remaster my harddrive. Do i need tondo anybackups of the game data? And if so what directory would they generally be found?
I would like to reinstall the games and continue from the last checkpoint before i remaster the harddrive.
Cheers

Hey, while the actual game files are in your Origin Games folder, local save data will be found in your My Documents folder. This will either have the a studio folder (Bioware for example) or just the game folder. Go in a level or two and you'll find the saves files, just make a backup of these.
For example you'll find the campaign saves for BF1 solo campaign at My Documents\Battlefield 1\settings. The main file is PROFSAVE, but there are some local backups too, as well as a local copy of your settings file.
MP progress is stored on our servers.
Cloud storage should also work as a way to preserve your saves, but it's worth having an extra backup too, sometimes cloud saves are corrupted or overwritten.Please let us know if you need any more info.
