Final Fantasy VII Remake is a good example of why a save-location page must name the storefront, not merely the game. The Steam and Epic releases both use the Documents-based FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE tree but separate data under Steam and EOS, while the Microsoft Store build uses a WGS container. A useful backup therefore starts by identifying which executable/storefront produced the save. Copying the parent folder blindly can mix unrelated metadata and make later troubleshooting harder. SaveEditor treats this hub as a reference for locating and preserving the PC data; it does not infer that slot data is safely interchangeable across every storefront.
Prepare the source PC
On the source system, identify the actual Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade save root: Windows: Steam: %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy GamesFINAL FANTASY VII REMAKESteam ; Epic: %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy GamesFINAL FANTASY VII REMAKEEOS ; Microsoft Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%Packages39EA002F.EXED1_n746a19ndrrjgSystemAppDatawgs. The expected file/folder pattern is Storefront-specific save subfolders beneath the documented FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE profile root.. Close the game, let the active launcher finish writing and synchronizing, then make a complete offline copy rather than transferring a file that may still be open.
Preserve storefront and profile identity
Documented storefronts: Steam, Epic Games Launcher, Microsoft Store. The storefront changes the save root. Do not copy a Steam folder into EOS or WGS and assume the container layout is equivalent. A transfer between two PCs is simplest when both systems use the same storefront/account/profile context. If the destination uses a different store or container, treat that as a migration problem rather than an ordinary restore.
Move the complete save boundary
Close the game and launcher, identify the storefront actually used, and copy the complete matching Steam, EOS, or WGS save directory before replacing any slot. Label the backup with storefront and date. Put the copied data on the destination only after confirming the destination save path. If the game creates a new empty save first, keep that new folder as another backup so you can compare structures and revert.
Handle cloud sync deliberately
Steam Cloud, Epic cloud, and Xbox Cloud are documented for their respective storefronts; OneDrive may also affect Documents when folder backup is enabled. Decide whether the local transferred copy or cloud copy should be authoritative before launching the game. If possible, preserve both. After the transferred save loads correctly, make a fresh in-game save and let the launcher synchronize normally.
Check compatibility before blaming the transfer
The PC releases separate Steam, Epic/EOS, and Microsoft Store WGS storage. Backups should preserve the whole active storefront save directory because slot files and companion metadata can travel together. Compatibility note: PC storefront saves are related game data but their container paths differ. Treat manual cross-store transfer as a separate migration task rather than ordinary restore unless a tested conversion workflow is available. If the destination does not see the transferred progress, If progress looks missing, first check Steam versus EOS versus Microsoft Store and whether Documents is redirected by OneDrive. A cloud conflict can restore a newer or older copy after a manual replacement. Verify game edition/version, store, profile IDs, redirected folders, and mod/DLC dependencies before editing the save itself.
