Skyrim puts its save game files in:

	 C:\Users\<yourname>\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves

where <yourname> is your user name on Windows.  So find that directory
on your Windows 7 drive and copy everything it to the location above on
your Windows 10 drive.  It'll probaby easier if you boot into Windows 10,
search through all your drives until you find Windows 7 save files and
then copy the files to directory named above.

For Witcher 3 they're stored in:

	 C:\Users\<yourname>\Documents\The Witcher 3

You can copy them over the same with as with Skyrim.  

Other game may store their save files in other places.  You can try
using Google to find out where.
