Just copy the games to another drive. As mentioned in another post, many of the games we've been given are free standing, which means they don't have any important registry entries, though some do such as Alawar games, so you will end up with demo versions only.

I'm not actually sure of the legality of transferring the games that are free standing though, because I think the rules do say (or are implied) that once the giveaway period is over you shouldn't be able to copy games from computer to computer. (or words to that effect). It's all down to how the individual feels about breaking rules that aren't enforcable.
