Copy the entire Save folder (your character saves and the accompanying keep/world-state files).
Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Dragon Age: Inquisition save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:
robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\DragonAgeInquisition-save-backup" /E /COPY:DAT /R:1 /W:1
/E mirrors the whole save tree (every profile sub-folder and slot) to a backup folder on your Desktop without touching the originals. Copy that folder to the new PC, then restore by swapping the source and destination paths.
Switching computers? Here's exactly which Dragon Age: Inquisition save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.

How to transfer your Dragon Age: Inquisition save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the entire Save folder (your character saves and the accompanying keep/world-state files).
- Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Dragon Age: Inquisition on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- Open the same path (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save) on the new PC and paste your copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your progress loaded before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
On PC, Dragon Age: Inquisition syncs through the EA app / Origin cloud, not Steam Cloud. Sign into the EA app on the new PC and let it sync first; if it conflicts with your copied files, keep the local ones.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting to close the game / let the cloud finish syncing before copying — a later sync can overwrite your restore.
- Your imported world state comes from Dragon Age Keep online (tied to your EA account), so it follows you automatically once you sign in.
