    Files transfer usually just copies the original files to the chosen destination. The originals will still be on the old computer.

    Just move the game files onto the USB flash drive and then move them over to the new PC. Be sure to move all of the files. If you miss one, the game might not work!

    It depends on what you mean by "all the info." When you're performing the transfer, all of the relevant transfer information would be on the computer you were transferring from, which would have to have a monitor in order for you to complete the transfer. However, you do not need a monitor on the computer that's receiving the file, although you obviously wouldn't be able to view the file on the new computer without one.
