    @kaptkaos888  If you never enabled cloud saving, EA servers wouldn't have any of your data on hand.  But you can manually transfer your saves from one computer to another.  They're saved here:

    Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Save\MEx\[character name and number]

    You can transfer the entire folder for a given character to the new computer, and probably the entire ME1/ME2/ME3 folder it's in.

@puzzlezaddict So how do you enable cloud saving? Why wouldn't that be enabled by default? Any other gaming service does it, is EA that far behind the times?

    @protrainz  The cloud save option is under Application Settings > Installs and Saves.

    As for why it's not enabled by default, many of us would prefer to keep our saves separate on different devices or manage our saves manually.  I know I would, and I do.

        @MADRUUNNK  That setting doesn't exist in the EA App.  If you can't go back to Origin, and a few players can't, then you'll just have to hope the EA App's automatic cloud saving function works for you.  The last time I checked, there was no way at all to manage this function.

        You can download Origin from the link here:

        https://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Client-Web-Technical/Downloading-and-installing-Origin-Windows-and-Mac/m-p/11915666

        Don't uninstall the EA App, or else Origin will prompt you to install it again, and doing so will uninstall Origin.  And if Origin won't let you use it at all, then you're stuck with the App, unfortunately.
