    You could just copy your old Cryptic folder to the new PC, then the installer would only need to verify the files.

    Like most video games, STO is "self contained" within that folder, meaning you can copy it across computers as much as you want. If you have a big enough flash drive or external hard drive, you could theoretically play off that (though I wouldn't recommend it).

    The quickest way to install on your new computer is to use the original install media to install the game and setup the appropriate program shortcuts, icons, and registry keys. Then copy the "Live" game folder from your old PC to your new one, overwriting any existing files.
