The '''Global User Directory''' was brought to Windows in {{revision|3.5-2381}} and release {{revision|4.0}}. Now, like Linux and macOS before it, Windows builds have a central location where saves, settings, screenshots, themes, etc are kept. All builds will have the same settings and saves, and updating from one revision to another will be much easier. | The '''Global User Directory''' was brought to Windows in {{revision|3.5-2381}} and release {{revision|4.0}}.

== Moving Saves and Settings from Older Versions == | |||
Moving saves and settings from an older version of Dolphin to {{revision|4.0}}-era builds is easy. The default location of the Global User Directory is <var>%userprofile%\My Documents\Dolphin Emulator\</var>. To preserve game saves, copy over the <var>\GC\</var> and <var>\Wii\</var> folders which are under the old build's <var>\User\</var> folder to the directory currently specified by Global User Directory. The same can be done for settings by copying over the <var>\Config\</var> folder. | |||
*It may be more convenient to copy all of the content from the old <var>\User\</var> folder to the Dolphin Emulator folder, however the <var>\GameConfig\</var> folder will be ignored. | |||
