Re: (HOW TO) Moving from Origin to EA App

@Adrian29POL  You shouldn't need to redownload your games.  The only reason this would happen is if Origin itself is installed into the same folder as the games.  Because the EA App uninstalls Origin as it installs itself, it removes the entire folder that Origin.exe is inside, so make sure that folder doesn't contain anything you want to keep.

The default setup is that Origin itself is inside Program Files (x86)\Origin and the games are inside Program Files (x86)\Origin Games, which is fine and shouldn't cause any problems.

If your games are in the same folder as Origin, you can move them by right-clicking on each game within your Origin library and selecting Move Game.

It doesn't matter what folder the EA App is expecting to use for your EA games.  It should recognize anything already installed by Origin.
