Re: SIMcity transfer of game progress to new hard drive.
Hi @sirsporter1221 - On a new install, the game will start with the tutorial regardless of whether you have saved games anywhere. So, you might actually already have your games transferred. You don't have to go thru the entire tutorial, just click through to start it (must be online), then go to the options menu (three dots in upper right-hand corner) and exit tutorial. This should put you back to the main menu where you can choose the Single Player tab and your games should be listed under Play.
For Single Player / offline mode - your games are saved on the hard drive, not online. You will need to copy the files in the game folder from the first computer, and transfer them to the new computer. Use a portable storage device like a thumb drive or external hard drive. On the original computer, copy all the files and folders from the Games folder - default location is <YourWindowsUserName>\Documents\SimCity\Games. Move all the files on the portable drive to the Games folder on the new computer.
For Multiplayer / online mode - your games are all saved online. If you're not seeing them, you probably just need to change to the correct server. For some reason, SimCity doesn't automatically open to the server you were on when you switch computers. (it WILL open to the server you were on last on the same computer; it doesn't save that info in Origin) How to Choose a SimCity Server
Make sure you don't accidentally end up with nested Games folders - just move the files. When you move games for offline play, only the files on the computer you're using will be changed. The old copy will stay just as is.
Hope this helps - Happy Building!
