How to Transfer Your Mina the Hollower Save to a New PC
Last verified: 2026-09-14
%APPDATA%\Yacht Club Games\Mina the Hollower
Your progress is saveData.yc inside the Mina the Hollower folder. Copy that whole folder to the new PC.
Before you move anything, make a full backup of every Mina the Hollower save on the OLD PC in one command. Press Win+R (or open Command Prompt), paste this, and hit Enter:
robocopy "%APPDATA%\Yacht Club Games\Mina the Hollower" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\MinatheHollower-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 Mina the Hollower save files to copy, where they live, and how to make sure your progress loads on the new PC.
Where the files live: see the full Mina the Hollower save file location guide for every platform path (PS5, Xbox, Steam Cloud).
How to transfer your Mina the Hollower save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %APPDATA%\Yacht Club Games\Mina the Hollower, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Select everything in that folder and copy it to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Mina the Hollower on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- On the new PC, open the same path (%APPDATA%\Yacht Club Games\Mina the Hollower) and paste the 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?
Mina the Hollower uses Steam Cloud, so saveData.yc syncs across PCs on the same Steam account. Copy the folder manually only if Cloud is disabled.
Common mistakes
- AppData\Roaming is hidden — paste %APPDATA% into Run.
- Copying saveData.yc loose instead of keeping its folder.
