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.

With Steam and Skyrim, I messed around in Properties/Updates/  and
noticed that "Enable Steam Cloud Synchronization..." was disabled and
saw that it said "View Settings/Downloads+Cloud to reenable the Steam
Cloud for your account.".  I exited Steam and there were my save
games!  I cannot belive it's been since 2012 since I saved a game!


Doom is working now with a save game but it is not where I remember I
left off and there is a slot with the difficulty "Hurt me plenty"
which I would never do.

I will try your suggestions.  Be right back :-)

That worked too!  I just had to figure out what Win10 renamed my
drives to (J = Win7 C).

Worked!!!

Thanks Ross!  You saved me a bunch of more time Googling only to find
nothing.  Now onto Doom!

Steam is downloading games in Windows 10.  Any ideas how I can have it
point to the already installed files in Windows 7??

There is something along the lines of Steam -> Settings -> Downloads ->
Steam Library Folders -> Add library folder and point it to your
existing steam folder.

Okay Anssi!  I went through all my drives and looked for Steam games
and added the Steam library folders like you suggested.

I think it worked as a bunch of games that I do not remember seeing in
my Library are now updated (gosh, I hope they are not downloading them
from scratch).

So, I think that is the way and a slick way to do it.

Thanks!  My fingers and toes are crossed.
